Environmental Product Declaration
To encourage the use of products and materials for which life-cycle information is available, our low-emission powder coat finish is made with powder that has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) conforming to ISO 21930, 14025, 14040, and 14044. This can help reach building product life-cycle impact goals. (MR CREDIT: Building Product Disclosure and Optimization — Environmental Product Declarations)
Recycled Steel Content
To assist with responsible extraction criteria, the steel that is used to manufacture our line of steel furnishings is composed of at least 25% recycled content. Certain types of steel bar used may be comprised of up to 100% recycled steel. Also, the aluminum cast ends used on certain bench series are produced from 97-98% recycled aluminum scrap.
