Sustainable Materials
Open image tooltip Choose + Use Materials Responsibly
We choose and use materials responsibly by sourcing and selecting materials that are healthier for people and the planet. When designing products, we select materials that are safe and ecologically sound throughout their lifecycle. Materials are selected for their conservation of resources and energy while reducing the weight and number of components. Among them, you’ll find post-consumer polyester and post-industrial polyester, two fabrics that are reclaiming waste or excess products left over from consumers or manufacturing processes.
Open image tooltip Textiles Designed for Circularity
Steelcase is committed to an ongoing effort to reduce waste, while offering choices that minimize our impact on the environment. Alongside leading textile supplier Gabriel, we added new fabrics crafted from used materials – including textile waste – that can be recycled again and again to create new textiles. We are supporting Gabriel’s ambitious recycling program with up to 17 tons of material scraps from our Sarrebourg plant per year and are using these circular fabrics to make our products more sustainable.
