Environmental Product & LEED Credit Summaries

HERMAN MILLER
Herman Miller has long been recognized for its environmental stewardship. “Living with integrity and respecting the environment” is a core Herman Miller value, thanks to the visionary corporate practices introduced by Herman Miller founder D.J. De Pree in the early 1950s. Succeeding generations of company leadership and employee-owners have built upon this legacy. In 1989 a group of Herman Miller employees launched the Environmental Quality Action Team (EQAT) to set corporate environmental priorities and improvement goals.

As a founding member of the U.S. Green Building Council and an active participant in creating the LEED protocol, Herman Miller has helped carry the concept of sustainability across industries and around the world. Designing products with consideration for the environmental impact is a central corporate strategy. Herman Miller products like the Foray seating product line, as well as the Mirra, Caper and Celle chairs have earned the McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) Cradle to Cradle (C2C) certification.

INTERFACEFLOR
InterfaceFLOR has an environmental mission to achieve zero environmental footprint by 2020 – all while providing the most fashionable, high performing products in the industry. Achieving zero means ensuring that the processes used to create Interface products, install and reclaim them at the end of their useful life are just as environmentally-friendly as the product itself.

The company makes it easy to specify green because just about every product InterfaceFLOR offers has green attributes. Third-party certified, Cool Carpet™ is climate neutral and zeros out all greenhouse gas emissions. It comes standard on all InterfaceFLOR products sold in North America. You can durably install InterfaceFLOR carpet tiles with TacTiles, a revolutionary installation system that eliminates the need for glues and other VOCs (volatile organic compounds). And efficiently reclaiming all types of commercial and residential carpet is now possible with ReEntry 2.0 -- regardless of the type of face fiber or backing used, regardless of who manufactured it.
