Furnishings

Our office, whether at work or at home, is a place in which we spend many hours.  It is hard to believe, but many of us suffer vague illnesses and headaches caused by the very furnishings and building materials in our offices!  Many fabrication methods and materials used in the manufacturing of these products contain VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds.) These are chemicals that leach out of the product over time and cause burning eyes, sore throats and sleepiness.  Many manufacturers are now going back to more natural materials to eliminate these problems. 

Manufacturers can get their products GREENGUARD certified for reduced harsh chemical emissions and improved indoor air quality. GREENGUARD products can help you obtain LEED credits if you are pursuing Green Building certification under the US Green Building Council™ LEED-CI rating system.

Many items using plastics, such as seating, storage and organization products are now utilizing recycled content for greener results.  Office Depot is doing an excellent job of making many green products available at affordable prices for your office.
