GREEN ATTRIBUTES OF MODULAR MILLWORK           


Designed for Change/Reuse:


-Structural Frame allows easy reconfiguration and reuse, avoiding the bsolescence, disposal and replacement as common with ordinary millwork.
-Prevents unnecessary resource consumption and saves landfill space & money.


Guaranteed Sustainability:


-Lifetime Warranty ensures highest quality and maximum service life.
-Modular construction allows “Adaptive Reuse” as business change occurs providing true operational sustainability.


Recycle Content:


Maximum recycled content preserves earth’s resources and environment.
• Wood Panels* - 100% Recycled (90 PI, 10 PC)
• Steel Frame - 75% Avg. Recycled (100% Recyclable)
• Polystyrene - 50% Avg. Recycled (100% Recyclable)
*Available with FSC/SFI and BioSource Content as specified.


Health & Safety:


-Wood products conform to ANSI Std A.208 1-1999 for extra low VOC emissions & UF additives.

-Steel paint process is environmentally safe powder coating (no VOCs or HAPs).

-Transparent components leverage natural/ambient lighting to reduce energy needs.

-Easy adjust, ergonomic design optimizes comfort and personal productivity.

-Bactericidal surfacing (optional) eliminates germs & allergens to promote wellness & IAQ

Environmental:


-Local material sourcing conserves energy, lowers costs and supports US jobs.
-Minimizes packaging & waste using recycled corrugated boxes & recycled wood pallets.

-Wood content bias promotes forest preservation and reduces atmospheric carbon. Reuse ability avoids landfill and eliminates    redundant consumption of virgin resources & energy.

-Polystyrene production facility employs geo-thermal cooling/heating, uses 33% post-consumer recycled materials, natural indoor lighting and is recipient of prestigious “Blue Angel” Swiss environmental certification.

-Manufacturer aggressively recycles maximum amount of production by-products, including 100% of corrugated materials and plastics, wood products, office paper and aluminum.

-Solid waste disposal reduced by 80% since 2002.


Supports Change:


-Easy reuse minimizes time, expense and inconvenience of adapting space & interiors to change.

-Reconfigure feature enables “Adaptive Reuse” of units for multiple new service lives.

-Eliminates demolition, disposal & new construction to change millwork. Saves money.
