DESIGNING FOR SUSTAINABILITY
We believe the only way to provide the best office furniture solutions is to ensure they’re the best products for the environment. That’s why every step of the way – through design, manufacturing, delivery and product lifecycle – we consider the impact of our work on people and on the environment and uncover opportunities to make things better.
MATERIALS
Westside contains no hazardous materials (i.e. no Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Chrome VI, (seating) or CFC or HCFC in the foam, no dangerous materials such as PVC, and no hazardous flame retardants such as halogenated flame retardants. Westside contains 14% recycled materials, by weight. The packaging consists of cardboard, PE foam and LDPE film (Low Density Polyethylene), both containing at least 30% recycled material. The Westside chair weighs only 4.9 kg and is made with only 2 main low energy materials (steel and PP). The use of gas injection in the plastic shell is an innovation. Paper and packaging use water based inks without solvent.
