The result is high-performance seating suitable for the range of activities one experiences in a typical workday. Throughout Equa 2’s design and development stages, we emphasized environmental responsibility in raw material selection and sourcing. Preference was given to materials from renewable and sustainable sources. Herman Miller’s Design Protocol Our commitment to corporate sustainability naturally includes minimizing the environmental impact of each of our products. Our Design for the Environment team (DfE) applies environmentally sensitive design standards to both new and existing Herman Miller products, utilizing the McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) Cradle to CradleSM Design Protocol. Cradle to Cradle Design Protocol goes beyond regulatory compliance to thoroughly evaluate new product designs in three key areas: •Material Chemistry and Safety of Inputs— What chemicals are in the materials we specify, and are they the safest available? • Disassembly—Can we take products apart at the end of their useful life, to recycle their materials? • Recyclability—Do the materials contain recycled content, and more importantly, can the materials be recycled at the end of the product’s useful life?
