Product catalog summary
Product Description: The Enigma task chair by Senator is designed for universal application, offering robust engineering and a wide range of user adjustments. It is built to last 10 years and is primarily marketed in Europe.
Scope of Assessment: The assessment covers the entire lifecycle from raw material extraction to the production of the final office furniture unit, excluding the in-use phase and end-of-life recycling.
Functional Unit: A seating solution with a lifespan of 10 years.
Data Used: Primary data was used for energy consumption during production, supplemented by secondary data from the Ecolnvent database, using European data.
Environmental Summary: The chair has a global warming potential of 123.24 kg CO2 equivalents, with a recycled content of 26.5% by weight and a recyclability rate of 99%.
Materials Declaration: The chair is composed of various materials including aluminum castings (14.28%), PU foam (3.45%), LDPE (0.69%), Nylon 6 (41.85%), polypropylene (15.08%), and steel (24.65%).
Environmental Product Analysis: Conducted in accordance with ISO14025 and ISO14044, the analysis was compiled and verified by Oakdene Hollins Ltd.
Sustainability Approach: Senator emphasizes sustainability over recyclability, focusing on a holistic approach to design, manufacture, supply, and reclamation. The company aims to minimize environmental impacts through a cyclical process of resource harvesting and remanufacturing.
System Boundaries: The lifecycle includes upstream (raw material extraction and treatment), core (transport and assembly), and downstream (product transport and recycling) modules.
Certifications: Senator holds several certifications including ISO 9001 for quality assurance, ISO 14001 for environmental management, FSC for chain of custody, FISP for sustainability, and ISO 50001 for energy management.
Environmental Impact Potential: The chair's lifecycle analysis considers global warming, acidification, eutrophication, ozone depletion, and photochemical smog potentials.
Recycled Content and Toxic Emissions: The chair's materials have varying levels of recycled content, with aluminum castings being 100% recycled. Toxic emissions are minimized through careful lifecycle management.
Assessment Considerations: Assumptions include manufacturing in the same factory as raw material processing and transport via Euro 5 lorries. The LCA data was modeled using the IMPACT 2002+ method.

SYSTEM BOUNDARIES The Senator Group has for many years acknowledged that the key word upon which to focus our attention is Sustainability rather than Recyclability in pure isolation. Our business takes a truly holistic approach to the design, manufacture, supply and reclamation of our products. We see this as a cyclical process. From design to manufacture, use and reclamation we aspire to minimise all environmental impacts of Senator’s products and processes. Weharvest the resources back from the retired products then remanufacture or reintroduce the materials into our component manufacturers...
