Employees See More Green at Work
With billions of dollars being spent on new office furniture every year, the fate of the planet could be influenced by one workstation.
West Palm Beach, FL, April 19, 2008 --(PR.com)-- With the adoption of building practices that result in energy-efficient, healthier and environmentally sustainable buildings, owners and tenants of these buildings are seeking to take “Green” even further.
Going beyond printer cartridge and paper recycling, Facility managers are being challenged to seek out green interior furnishings. From conference tables, cubicles, desk, workstations and seating – all essentials in day-to-day business operations.
Corporate furniture suppliers of pre-owned and remanufactured products are experiencing a boom in business. Richard Price, President of Corporate Furniture Options a Florida based operation reports, “With the rush for builders to pursue U.S. Green Building Council’s Leed TM Certification standards, clients are specifically requesting Eco-friendly furniture.”
While suppliers of new products are trying to adapt to the greener side of the cubicle wall, CFO has had its roots planted there for the past 16 years. The decision to incorporate pre-owned or remanufactured has always been the wise choice, not only for our environment also to the corporate bottom line. “Unlike green construction decisions where the financial return is 3-5 years, with green furniture the ROI is immediate because the realized savings is substantial - thirty to fifty percent over new.” Mr. Price also explains clients don’t have to compromise esthetics to stay within their budgets. Remanufactured takes the core product and re-engineers them with new powder coat paints, custom fabric selections, while damaged or missing components are replaced, and the same warranties are extended. “It looks, feels and functions exactly like new.”
CFO recently completed the installation of Tropical Shipping’s LCL building in Riviera Beach comprised of new and remanufactured products to include top-of-the-line manufacturer Haworth. Over the course of the past four years Tropical has saved more than a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach has also chosen to incorporate remanufactured Herman Miller for back office operations.
10 U.S. households could be powered for an entire day by the energy saved in remanufacturing just 1 workstation. With billions of dollars being spent on new office furniture every year, the fate of the planet could be influenced by one workstation.
