Combining innovation with environmental awareness, Washington-based Ecowork LLC creates office furniture with 95 per cent recycled materials.
North Bonneville, WA (PRWEB) February 15, 2006 -- How recycled can your office get? Ecowork LLC has the answer. The Washington-based Ecowork creates designer office furniture out of 95 per cent recycled and rapidly renewable material.
“Many of the recycled products that are out there today still rely on as much as 50 per cent of new material,” says Scot Davidson, Founder of Ecowork. “Ecowork’s products push the envelope in developing functional, aesthetic and renewable products for office workspaces.”
Ecowork’s products are created by “eco-design,” which considers many factors beyond form, cost and function. Eco-design considers the sustainable nature of core materials, energy used in transportation and production, safety in production, off-gassing characteristics, and end-of-life disposal.
The Ecowork workspace is made primarily of recycled paper, cardboard, tires and waste wheat straw. It is designed to be colorful, attractive, just as durable as commercial products, and sturdy enough to bear the challenges of business use. Ecowork products are used around the country in many challenging locations, including tough duty locations such as the offices of Ellis Island National Monument. Ecowork products have received numerous design awards, and they have won praise from clients such as Smith & Hawken, the University of Colorado, and Environmental Defense.
“At Ecowork, our values drive us to create products that have minimum negative environmental impact but that are still a joy to own,” says Davidson. “Our products provide a functional, flexible and creative work environment for businesses that truly believe in social responsibility, forward thinking and a passion for the environment.”
