Green Attributes of Modular Millwork

Designed for Change/Reuse:

Structural Frame allows easy reconfiguration and reuse, avoiding the obsolescence, 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.
