Green Products OE and Steelcase can help you ensure a greener tomorrow. Learn how the products you select for your workplace can have a significant impact on the environment:

Furniture

• Creates a healthy work environmentSteelcase products are designed with user health in mind. For example, powder-coated steel and water-based glue and finishes are virtually VOC-free.
• Protects natural resources Steelcase wood suppliers are regularly audited for environmental performance, while particle board components are made from 100% post-industrial recycled wood fiber. And products have a high steel content, which has less environmental impact than competitor products with higher plastic and aluminum content.
• Reduces waste Many products, like Steelcase system solutions, are designed to be fully reusable. Whenever possible, Steelcase uses recycled materials as well as materials that can be recycled at the end of a product's use. Customers can also leverage the Steelcase Environmental Partnership Program to find an environmentally responsible method for disposing of a product.

Raised Access Flooring

• Increases energy efficiency An access floor enables under-floor air distribution, which requires lower air pressure and less fan usage.
• Improves air quality Hot, stale air and contaminants rise to the ceiling and are pushed out by clean air.
• Reduces waste -Flooring components can be removed and reused elsewhere.

Moveable/Demountable Walls

• Reduces construction waste Moveable and demountable walls eliminate the need for demolition when changes are needed.
• Supports recycling Steelcase moveable walls contain recycled content – and are recyclable.
• Protects health A healthier alternative to paint, Steelcase moveable walls contain no offgassing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In addition, they contain no PVCs.
• Decreases lighting demand Thoughtful use of wall glass creates an elegant look – and helps to distribute natural light throughout an interior.

Modular Wiring/Cabling Solutions

• Reduces waste Designed to snap together and apart easily, modular wiring and cabling components can be reused again and again.

Lighting

• Reduces energy consumptionThrough occupancy sensors, load shedding and other controls, innovative lighting solutions maximize use of daylight and reduce lighting when not needed.
