Environment Friendly
The remanufacturing of modular systems furniture supports the environment by significantly reducing the amount of used modular furniture ending up as landfill. IR has reviewed every step in our remanufacturing process in order to keep the environmental impact to a minimum. Since most forms of paint application are known to be environmentally hazardous. IR has chosen to utilize a state-of-the-art powder coat paint system for most painting requirements. The electrostatic powder coat process is free from volatile organic compond (VOCs)
emmisions and is environmentally friendly. IR uses Guilford of Maine as its supplier of panel fabric. Guilford of Maine has made a significant commitment to the environment through its Terratex fabric line, that is made from 100% recycled materials (mainly soda bottles), using processes that reduce waste, emmissions, energy consumption, water usage, and toxic substances.Terrratex fabric is guaranteed to meet or exceed the quality of fabrics made with virgin materials and conventional processes.
Recycling office furniture conserves labor and manufacturing energy. The amount of labor and energy reguired to alter an existing product during the remanufacturing process is 85 to 95 percent less than required to manufacture a new product. And, since much of the product has already been manufactured, remanufacturing saves the enormous amounts of energy required for production, especially when metals are kept out of the resmelting process. Purchasing remanufactured office furniture also sets a great example for your company's employees. It demonstrates that your firm is managing the company's assets wisely and send the message of conservation and waste reduction as an important corporate goal. |
