Love – We combine the desire to do what’s right with tools that help us identify
ways we can continuously improve our environmental performance. Our wood
harvesting practices include working with managed forests, non-endangered
woods and use of natural veneers versus composites.
Materials Chemistry – Analysis by MBDC allows us to understand the
chemical makeup of our products and production processes, and their safety to
human and environmental health. It flags materials to avoid in new products and
eliminate from existing products. Our wood manufacturing uses water-based
glues, stains and topcoats, resulting in negligible levels of VOC emissions and
hazardous waste.
Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) – An LCA measures the environmental impact
of a product’s materials, production, transport, use and end of life. LCAs help
us identify ways to improve our environmental performance at every phase of
a product’s life.
Recycling & Reuse – Products are designed to facilitate disassembly and
maximum recyclability. This includes the use of 100% recycled wood fiber
content in particleboard and secondary uses for scrap in landscaping or as a
fuel source. When a wood product reaches the final phase in its lifecycle, the
Steelcase Environmental Partnership Program can connect you with resources
to recycle or reuse that product.
Following this formula helps make all of our wood products environmentally
responsible at every stage of manufacturing and use. Many Steelcase Wood
products are Cradle to Cradle certified, see steelcase.com/environment for
a complete list. This formula, combined with our LEED ® certified plant—the
first in the United States—helps show our love for both wood furniture and
the environment.
