Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control

Low Emission Powder Coating Process
Our KEYSHIELD® powder coat finish releases negligible amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere and is considered to be HAPS free – free of hazardous air pollutants. This can reduce concentrations of chemical contaminants in the air. (EQ Credit: Low-Emitting Materials: BD+C: Option 2)
Recycled Steel Content
To assist with responsible extraction criteria, the steel that is used to manufacture our line of steel furnishings is composed of at least 25% recycled content. Certain types of steel bar used may be comprised of up to 100% recycled steel. Also, the aluminum cast ends used on certain bench series are produced from 97-98% recycled aluminum scrap.
