Are you planning to upgrade your workstations? There is a lot to be gained from purchasing green cubicles. San Diego employers can count on these products to positively affect LEED ratings for their buildings. If you accumulate sufficient LEED points, you may qualify for important tax breaks. You also improve your corporate image and relationship with your employees when you show that you care about the environment.

The factors that make a cubicle green include the materials that are used. Many brands incorporate high percentages of pre and post-consumer recycled content (often plastics and metals). The use of renewable hardwoods and a commitment to replanting any harvested woodlands is another way furniture manufacturers work toward making their furniture more environmentally friendly. The actual manufacturing process for green workstations is also designed to use less energy and water and to release fewer pollutants into the atmosphere.

Refurbished Cubicles Help the Environment and Your Community

Reusing and recycling are important aspects of any eco-friendly company policy. Refinishing an existing panel system is one way to reuse it and create a green cubicle. San Diego clients who choose to buy refurbished products can have a big impact on waste reduction. On average, reusing 1 workstation instead of discarding it and having a new one built will prevent approximately 500 pounds of waste material from ending up in a landfill.

For a large office, this adds up quickly. When enough business owners choose refurbished options, this could reduce costs for handling municipal wastes and help curtail the need to open new landfills. That improves the bottom-line for the entire community.

Are these cubicles durable? Absolutely, refurbished products will last for years; many feature the same lifetime warranty provided by the original manufacturer. You can expect like-new quality with the cubicles we refinish for you.

How to Buy the Right Products - Used or New

Third party certifying organizations like Greenguard and Cradle to Cradle help hold cubicle manufacturers responsible for their practices. They investigate and document materials, processes, sourcing, product lifecycles, waste reduction strategies, and more. Only those companies that are in compliance and have a thriving green policy can receive the stamp of approval.

Product labeling and approved vendor lists make it possible for you to incorporate more sustainable products into your workspace. However, there is still a lot of information to wade through to find your perfect green cubicle. San Diego based Cubicles Office Environments professionals are standing by to offer free advice.
