LEED

The Equa 2 chair may contribute to LEED credits

and GREENGUARD certification. Depending on location,

Equa 2 also may contribute to a LEED Regional Materials

credit. Please refer to http://hermanmiller.com/ecoScorecard

It’s important to note that no interior furnishings,

individually or collectively, can guarantee a

specific number of points for LEED certification.

Environmental Product Summary

Equa 2

Chair

• Plastic components are identified with an ASTM

recycling code whenever possible, to aid in returning

these materials to the recycling stream.

• Steel components contain approximately 35 percent

recycled content and are 100 percent recyclable.

• Most metal components are powder-coated, which

eliminates solvents and volatile organic compounds

(VOCs) from the finishing process.

• Foam and textile materials are part of an open-loop

system and can be recycled into everything from

automotive components to carpet padding at the

end of their current life.

• Textiles used in Herman Miller products can be

made from natural or synthetic fibers. Several textiles

are available with 100 percent recycled content.

• Returnable/Recyclable Packaging—Packaging materials

include corrugated cardboard and a polyethylene

plastic bag. These materials are part of a closed

loop recycling system, meaning they can be recycled

repeatedly.

– Whenever possible, shipments between

Herman Miller and its suppliers include the use

of pallets and other returnable packaging to

minimize waste.

– On large North American orders, disposable

packaging can be replaced with reusable shipping

blankets.

Manufacturing Process

• Renewable energy and Emissions—The Equa 2 chair

is manufactured at Herman Miller’s GreenHouse

seating operations in West Michigan using 100

percent renewable energy via renewable energy

credits and a power purchase agreement. No air or

water emissions are released in Equa 2’s production.

• The GreenHouse is also a LEED Pioneer building.

• ISO—The GreenHouse is within the scope of

Herman Miller’s ISO 14001 certified environmental

management system.

• Worker Health and Safety—Herman Miller strives to

meet or exceed OHSA standards. The GreenHouse

is within the scope of Herman Miller’s OHSAS 18001

certified safety management system.

Product Performance

replacement.
