EVOLVE
offers fabrics that are made from 100%
recycled polyester, which means less
waste going to landfills, reducing
demand for petroleum products, and fewer
environmental impacts from the
processing of petroleum products into
polyester |
|
Panels are
insulated with Roxul, a mineral wool
insulation made from slag (an inert
steel byproduct) and basalt rock.
Roxul's high density provides maximum
sound absorption to reduce noise in the
work environment. Roxul insulation
is fire resistant, water repellent and
will not support the growth of fungi or
mildew. |
|
EVOLVE has
developed a panel interior made from
100% recycled wood and polypropylene.
Through innovative design and
technology, EVOLVE utilizes waste that
would normally have been sent to
landfill. |
|
EVOLVE's
epoxy powder coating process involves no
liquids and is solvent free. It
does not contain any harmful VOC's or
lead. Up to 99% of over sprayed
powder is reclaimed, mixed with virgin
powder and reused. All powder that
doesn't get recirculated is recycled and
used to paint non-exposed parts. |

EVOLVE LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT |

Evolve is
continually committed to creating office
solutions with environmental responsibility. |
Wherever possible,
the entire EVOLVE panel system and the process
to manufacture it were designed to save and
protect the environment. |

Wherever
possible, the entire EVOLVE Panel System
and the process to manufacture it were
designed to save and protect the
environment. Our environment
success story began with the challenge
to create an office system that would
meet today's business requirements while
maintaining a firm commitment to save
and protect the environment.
Sustainability became a part of the
creative focus and development of EVOLVE
that incorporates the latest technology
and design features to provide excellent
performance at at competitive price.
As
government and industry environmental
ratings, such as the U.S. Green Building
Council's LEED Program, become more
prevalent, EVOLVE offers designers and
architects functional, attractive and
economical office designs that meet
these design standards, EVOLVE products
contribute to the LEED certification
program.
As part of
The Global Group, we at EVOLVE believe
it is our responsibility to protect the
environment for future generations.
The growing importance of energy and
environmental concerns continues to
challenge us in the ever-changing
marketplace. |
|
As an
industry leader, The Global Group
continues to take pro-active steps
toward reducing the negative impacts on
the environment. We are building
"healthier" offices; investing in R&D
and new technologies; reducing waste and
the consumption of energy; and improving
the quality of the air we breathe, all
of which have a significant impact on
our quality of life.
EVOLVE is
today's product for today's business.
A totally new furniture system.
EVOLVE is designed for the way people
work today, with the latest technical
and design features plus excellent
performance. Stackable panels.
Plug and play connectivity at the
worksurface. Proven wire
management. Ergonomic work
surfaces. A host of shapes and
sizes. Practical and
cost-effective storage options.
Who says you can't afford what you
really want? |

Panels
EVOLVE
processes wood scraps from our own
factories wood waste, that would
normally be sent to landfill, with
recycled polypropylene to form tiny
pellets that are then molded into
internal panel components. At the
end of their life, these molded
components parts can be ground up and
once again used in the process of making
similar components.
Panels are
insulated with Roxul, a mineral wood
insulation that is made from basalt
rock. This high density insulation
provides maximum sound absorption to
reduce noise and is fire resistant,
water repellent and will not support the
growth of fungi or mildew.
Post-industrial and post-consumer
polyester waste material is used as ray
materials in recycled polyester fabrics.
Using recycled fabric means less waste
going to landfills. At the end of
production, fabric scraps are bundled
and sent to fabric recyclers.

Storage
EVOLVE's
epoxy powder coating process involves no
liquids and is solvent free. It
contains no harmful VOC's or lead.
Up to 99% of over sprayed powder is
reclaimed, mixed with virgin powder and
reused. All powder that doesn't
get recirculated is recycled and used to
paint non-exposed parts.
Our vision
of creating an office furniture system
that would be based on sustainability
had to be supported with manufacturing
processes that would be ISO 14001
compliant. We obtained
registration to ISO 14401: 2004 in
Spring of 2005.
Reducing
waste and recycling materials in the
manufacturing of our products helps to
reduce the impact on our landfill sites.
Diverting materials from landfill,
reducing waste in our manufacturing and
recycling materials within our office
environment all contribute to saving and
protecting the environment. Our
goal is to continue to improve, innovate
and ultimately contribute to the
protection of our environment. |

Working with Our
Suppliers
We are challenged to do more with fewer
resources and to deliver new products
and services faster while remaining
economical. Protecting the
environment for future generations is
EVOLVE's commitment to provide business
with products that, through their entire
life cycle, minimize the negative
impacts on our environments. |

Working with Our
Suppliers
Consumers are concerned about the
environmental effects of materials that
are being used in the products they
purchase. This concern has
resulted in our consideration for the
environmental affect of materials that
are being used in the production of the
EVOLVE Panel System.
Environmentally friendly or "Green"
products reduce resource depletion and
pose less stress to the environment from
its production to its utilization to its
disposal. |
