Environmental Product Summary

Equa 2

Chair

Design Story: Ergonomic Comfort that’s

Environmentally Responsible

Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick designed the Equa 2

with the belief that everyone, regardless of their size,

shape, or organizational status, deserves a good,

ergonomically supportive chair. The result is high-

performance seating suitable for the range of activities

one experiences in a typical workday.

Throughout Equa 2’s design and development stages,

we emphasized environmental responsibility in raw

material selection and sourcing. Preference was given

to materials from renewable and sustainable sources.

Herman Miller’s Design Protocol

Our commitment to corporate sustainability naturally

includes minimizing the environmental impact of each

of our products. Our Design for Environment team (DfE)

applies environmentally sensitive design standards to

both new and existing Herman Miller products.

The DfE Design Protocol goes beyond regulatory

compliance to thoroughly evaluate new product

designs in four key areas:

• Material Chemistry and Safety of Inputs—

What chemicals are in the materials we specify, and

are they the safest available?

• Disassembly—Can we take products apart at the

end of their useful life, to recycle their materials?

• Recyclability—Do the materials contain recycled

content, and more importantly, can the materials be

recycled at the end of the product’s useful life?

• LCA—Have we optimized the product based on the

entire life cycle?

level

Certification

Equa 2 is certified level 1. The level conformance mark

ensures a comprehensive, independent, and impartial

assessment of the environmental and social impacts

of a product.

Material Content

The Equa 2 chair’s components are constructed from

plastic, steel, aluminum, foam, fabric and other

materials.

The Equa 2 chair is up to 86 percent recyclable at

the end of its useful life.

Equa 2 is comprised of 28-percent recycled materials.

The recycled content breaks down to 17-percent post-

consumer and 11-percent pre-consumer content.
