"As a manufacturer, we care about the materials used in our products and the impact those materials have on customers and the environment. One way we demonstrate our commitment to using eco-friendly materials is through our Ocean chair collection. As the first company to incorporate ocean plastic into our chairs, we continue to lead our industry and show that manufacturers can have a positive impact on our planet."

"Without carefully considering the materials and methods used in making products, manufacturers are likely to contribute to the climate crisis and chemical pollution. Humanscale has shown that manufacturing does not have to harm the climate, but can actually help restore the planet. Through our efforts to expand the Marine product line, material transparency, and making 26 of our products Climate Positive rated, we have demonstrated our commitment to being net positive."

Transforming Recycled Fish Nets into Chairs

As the worst type of ocean plastic, old fishing nets can have a detrimental impact on marine life. Cleaning our oceans will play a crucial role in efforts to end the climate crisis. In an effort to do our part for the planet, we are partnering with a program that transforms fishing nets retrieved from the ocean into plastic pellets. Our Ocean chairs, Liberty Ocean and Smart Ocean, are made with nearly two pounds of recycled plastic pellets per chair. By simply purchasing one chair, consumers can help remove harmful plastic from our oceans.

Important material. Consumers have the right to know what materials are used in the products they purchase. Humanscale is clearly a leader in material transparency in the furniture industry. We work with our supply chain to disclose every material used in our products. Companies can easily hide behind sustainability slogans when they choose not to disclose the materials used in their products. We are committed to going the extra mile and strive to provide consumers with all the information they deserve about the products they buy.
