Recognising Environmental Excellence
Understanding the importance of GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia) certification for Australian projects, we've made it our mission to offer a wide selection of green certified chairs. Our range includes products certified by GECA and other environmental standards, reflecting our unwavering commitment to a more sustainable future. These certifications are not just badges; they are a testament to our dedication to environmental stewardship.
Brands Making a Difference
We align ourselves with brands that share our commitment to minimising environmental impact and maximising positive contributions to the planet. Here are a few of the brands leading the charge:
- Herman Miller has successfully diverted 300 tonnes of plastic waste from the ocean during the financial year 2023.
- Buro Seating is committed to sustainability through its Stewardship Programme, which focuses on repurposing furniture, thereby extending its lifecycle and reducing waste generation and carbon footprint.
- Flokk, creators of HÅG, purchased 93% of their electricity globally from renewable sources in 2022, with a long-term goal of reducing CO2e emissions by 55% per unit (having already achieved a 36% reduction since 2015).
- Humanscale has partnered with Bureo to create the Smart Ocean chair, the first task chair made from recycled ocean plastics, and it is Living Product Challenge-certified. This collaboration highlights the innovative steps being taken to combat ocean pollution.
HeapsGood: A Partnership for Sustainable Packaging
Beyond our commitment to sustainable furniture, we also ensure that our packaging reflects our eco-friendly ethos. We've partnered with HeapsGood packaging to ensure that your orders are shipped in materials that are:
- Made from 99.9% recycled paper
- Compostable and recyclable
- Produced in Australia, supporting local manufacturing
- Plastic-free and ocean-friendly
Supporting Environmental Causes with i=Change
Our partnership with i=Change allows us to donate $1 from every order to one of three environmental causes, including Clean The Seas. This initiative supports the Seabin Foundation, which utilises smart technology to filter microplastics from the ocean and engages communities in environmental education. By choosing Clean The Seas at checkout, you can directly contribute to this vital cause.
"Chair For Chair" Initiative: Recycling for a Greener Future
As part of our commitment to reducing environmental impact and minimising landfill waste, we’ve launched the "Chair for Chair" initiative. When you purchase a new task chair from our core SitFit and Tempra Gel ranges, you can recycle your old task chair for free. Our customer service team is here to assist you with this process, making it easy to contribute to a greener future.
