Metal Filing Cabinets
Steelcase metal filling cabinets announced a long-term financial commitment to a U.S. wind
farm, including supporting the purchase of all the green power produced
by the farm for at least the first five years of its operation. This was
the first time a corporation has made an up-front commitment to
purchase all of the renewable energy credits (RECs) from a U.S. wind
farm in the financing stage. Experts believe that Steelcase's commitment
to the wind farm will help pioneer new ways to reduce the United
States' reliance on fossil fuels and shows how companies can leverage
their environmental commitments to effect a massive change
June 2010 marked the announcement of Steelcase using bio-based
packaging material called EcoCradle™ developed by Evocative, a natural
composite materials company. The material is made from agricultural
byproducts such as cotton seed hulls and mushroom roots. Because the
material is grown, it uses one-tenth of the energy to produce compared
to traditional packaging.
