It’s important to note that no interior furnishings,

individually or collectively, can guarantee a

specific number of points for LEED certification.

• Steel components contain approximately 35 percent

recycled content and are 100 percent recyclable.

• Most metal components have a powder-coat paint

finish that emits negligible volatile organic compounds
(VOCs).

• Plastic components are identified with an ASTM

recycling code whenever possible to aid in returning
these materials to the recycling stream.

• Every material has been scrutinized down to the

molecular level.

• 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.
