Innovation & environmental awareness, Washington-based Ecowork LLC creates office furniture with 95 per cent recycled materials.
How recycled can your office get? Ecowork LLC has the answer. They create designer office furniture out of 95 per cent recycled and rapidly renewable material. Ecowork’s products push the envelope in developing functional, aesthetic and renewable products for office workspaces. But Scot Davidson, company founder, was not ready to stop there, He and his team consider many factors beyond form, cost and function. Eco-design considers the sustainable nature of core materials, energy used in transportation and production, safety in production, off-gassing characteristics, and end-of-life disposal.
The "Ecowork Workspace" is made primarily of recycled paper, cardboard, tires and waste wheat straw. It is designed to be colorful, attractive, just as durable as commercial products, and sturdy enough to bear the challenges of business use. Ecowork products are already used around the country in many challenging locations, and have received numerous design awards, and they have won praise from clients such as Smith & Hawken, the University of Colorado, and Environmental Defense.
“At Ecowork, our values drive us to create products that have minimum negative environmental impact but that are still a joy to own,” says Davidson. (well yeah, in this case, it's more realistic to aim for that, than to aim for being a joy to use) “Our products provide a functional, flexible and creative work environment for businesses that truly believe in social responsibility, forward thinking and a passion for the environment.” And I agree wholeheartedly, you can't run a green business and be offgassing at the same time....
