Environmental consideration: It's a touchstone for everything we do.
At BioFit, we constantly strive to reduce any negative environmental impact created by our facilities, fabrication processes, finished goods, and packing materials – from the elimination of harmful compounds used in furniture components to recycling break room beverage cans and used office paper.
Industry cred ....
On the certification front, our seating products are LEED® compliant for use in commercial interiors and our tables are GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emission of volatile organic compounds, also allowing specifiers to qualify for LEED program credits.
Recycling. Reusing. Recycling. Repeating.
As for materials and processes, here are some of the things we do daily to help keep our world and yours clean and green:
-
Employing the most environmentally friendly production processes available, including non-toxic powder coating of components vs. traditional painting to eliminate VOCs

Ensuring hazardous materials are not used in our manufacturing processes or final products
-
Positioning recycling stations throughout our facility for all cardboard, paper, aluminum and metal waste
-
Utilizing chrome plating processes compliant with the End-Of-Life-Vehicle Directive (ELV) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS). No cadmium, lead or mercury is used in our plating processes
