This is a reprint of an article obtained from Rosemount Office Systems.
You may have noticed the term "green" popping up everywhere. How could you not? The car your neighbor drives is "green" and the sleeve on your morning take out cup of latte is "green". So, why not office furniture?
Rosemount Office Systems is "green", and we’ve been that way for a long time now. We just haven’t felt it was necessary to toot our own horn. But in case you weren’t aware…let us inform you.
Rosemount Office Systems strongly believes in corporate responsibility and leadership in conserving resources and protecting the environment. We demonstrate our commitment to the environment in four ways:
Design, Materials, Process and Technology
It’s not as simple as printing something on recycled paper (although that’s a start). When you’re a manufacturer, there’s a lot more that goes into it. We believe in the "3 R’s" of conservation – Reduce, Re-use and Recycle and this is how we do it:
Environmentally friendly design: Rosemount Office Systems has always designed products that emphasize reducing the amount of material needed to create a safe and productive office environment. Here are some of the highlights:• Our centerline-modular design fits more people in the same space, reducing the amount of floor space required to productively and safely accommodate a given number of people
• Allowing for incremental height change when reconfiguring reduces the amount of product discarded or stored when making layout changes
• Approximately 28% of the original product content is comprised of recycled material, and 100% of Rosemount Office Systems products are recyclable
Safe and sustainable materials:Rosemount Office Systems is committed to using safe and sustainable materials in our products. Some highlights:
• We use water-based adhesives which are 99% VOC emission-free
• 100% recycled content fabric is available
• Our aluminum based products use recycled aluminum in a balance that is environmentally sensitive without compromising product quality
• Worktop backers are made of 100% recycled material
Environmentally responsible manufacturing process:All Rosemount Office Systems products are manufactured in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Here are a few highlights:
• 100% of wood scrap is used for heating fuel
• 100% of all aluminum and steel scrap is recycled
• 100% of factory lighting is high-efficiency sodium vapor
• 0% wastewater, waste oil and solvent emissions
Technology that reduces waste:Rosemount Office Systems uses technology to reduce the volume of resources needed in our business. A few highlights:
• 100% electronic order acknowledgement and invoicing for 0% paper use
• All internal business reporting delivered electronically by email
• 100% paperless electronic delivery of purchase orders to suppliers
• Digital retention of supporting documentation
Rest assured that we’ll continue to refine and improve on what we do and become even stronger in some categories. As new technologies become available, we’ll be right there implementing them into our daily business and our daily lives.
