HON Ignition Eco Friendly Office Chair

EcoGreenOffice - Bryan Beckett

There's no doubt that comfortable seating should be provided for any office employee, but when it comes to sustainable office furniture, HON is making huge strides in providing eco friendly comfort.  We tested the HON Ignition Mid-Back Work Chair for durability and comfort.  Aside from being manufactured from 54% post consumer content, the HON not only met the needs but also offered a stylish, slick feel to the office.

The added support and back angle adjustment allowed our test guru's to work efficiently and in comfort all day long.  One of our test subjects appreciated the adjustable T arms to give the shoulders and back a rest. Although a variety of colors are offered in the HON Ignition series, many liked the wine color for the warm sensation it presents.  When the work day ended, the pneumatic level was released and our test subjects tilted back in the earth friendly, comfortable, all day office chair!

Overall, the results were excellent and as long as the HON chair casters glide along an eco friendly chairmat, it's smooth sailing!

Stock Up The Office With Green Products Designed For The Environment

DfE, it's more than just three letters and is an important aspect to greening the office. Products that carry the Design for the Environment (DfE) logo are products that are screened by environmental scientists.  The DfE program, created by the Environmental Protection Agency has allowed the use of this logo on hundreds of products. The EPA indicates that products that have been approved have the safest chemical ingredients. Products like these are found from the company Seventh Generation.

Seventh Generation Free and Clear All Purpose Cleaner

 Seventh Generation has an impressive line of eco-friendly products and cleaning supplies. Natural cleaners work equal or better than harsh, potent chemical cleaners that don't carry the Design for Environment cleaners. In 2008, "chemicals of concern" were reduced by 270 million pounds, clearly business and public demand for safe alternatives is increasing.

Other products that are improving the health environment are made by manufacturers such as Simple Green. Simple Green products deodorize and clean without ingredients that are toxic.  One of the more popular items is Pro 3 Germicidal Cleaner which many hospitals use since the product is noncaustic, biodegrable and free of harmful fumes.

Simple Green Pro 3

The office environment can be improved just by sourcing products Designed for the Environment. Look for the DfE logo on products found at EcoGreenOffice.  The one stop shop has all needs for a green office and can even help households on a sustainable path.

Daily Office Green Tip - Sourcing Certified Products

Sustainable Forestry Initiative-
There are a number of credible forest certification programs which encourage responsible forestry.  The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) is one organization helping to create more demand for responsible forestry.  Only 10% of the world's forests are certified, so when buying or researching products, look for the SFI label. Sourcing wisely increases the demand for responsible forestry and people can make a difference.  Products that carry the SFI label include, paper, packaging and wood products.

Daily Office Green Tip - Paper 101

Paper 101
How do you choose paper that is good for the environment and meets your needs? Some things to keep in mind: First things first, when looking to make an environmentally responsible paper purchase, you're looking for more than the recycled symbol. Post-Consumer Waste Content (PCW): The single most important factor to consider is the percentage of post-consumer waste content. Paper with post-consumer content contains recycled fiber from paper which has already been used by the consumer and then collected for recycling. The higher the level of post-consumer content the better. Today, more and more products are available with post-consumer recycled content including: file pocket portfolios, hanging file folders, report covers, various storage boxes, file holders, file covers and three-ring binders. By using recycled post-consumer content paper, we save trees, water and prevent the air and water pollution, soil erosion and destruction of wildlife habitats associated with harvesting.
