Supplier Support

with our suppliers to reduce our collective impact on
the environment. We not only encourage our suppliers
to minimize their operations’ environmental impacts,
but require they assist us in decreasing our facilities’
negative environmental effects, as well.

LEED

Everywhere tables may contribute to LEED credits
due to their returnable/reusable packaging, durability,
pre-consumer recycled content, post-consumer
content, and GREENGUARD certification. Depending
on location, Everywhere tables also may contribute
to a LEED Regional Materials credit. Please refer to

your Herman Miller representative for detailed
LEED information.

It’s important to note that no interior furnishings,

individually or collectively, can guarantee a

specific number of points for LEED certification.

• Most laminate and veneer

Everywhere tables may be ordered
as FSC

certified products.

• Wood, while not technically recyclable,

can be cycled back to the natural
environment, such as through
composting. The wood content in our work surfaces
and storage unit substrates is comprised of 100-
percent reclaimed wood, as certified by the
Composite Panel Associations EPP. This wood
content is made primarily of sawdust generated by
other wood process operations. Additionally, wood
waste from our operations can be burned in our
energy center, which generates steam that we use
in our operations facilities.

• All veneers used are purchased from suppliers

practicing sustainable forestry techniques.

• Steel components contain approximately 35 percent

recycled content and are 100 percent recyclable.

• Aluminum components are 100 percent recyclable.
• Most metal components have a powder-coat paint

finish that emits negligible volatile organic compounds
(VOCs).

• Returnable Packaging—Packaging materials for

Everywhere tables include corrugated cardboard and
polyethylene stretch wrap. 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.

West Michigan at an ISO 14001-certified site.
