Our packaging is 98% recyclable / biodegradable. We are proud members of ‘1% For the Planet’. Read on to find out more about our environmental practices.
Bamboo Desktops
From sustainable plantations
The vast majority of desks, including adjustable height desks, use pressed-wood products, laminate, veneer or MDF. These are packed with formaldyhyde which is toxic to both humans and the environment.
What’s the perfect natural, beautiful, and sustainable material? Bamboo. It is the fastest growing woody plant on earth. Technically a grass, bamboo has been known to grow 39 inches in just 24 hours. Our bamboo desktops are FSC certified.
Birch Plywood Desktops
From sustainable plantations
Our new range of birch plywood desk tops are manufactured from sustainable plantations in the Balkans. They are bonded using an eco-friendly formaldyhyde-free bonding agent.
Birch takes ⅓ the amount of time to grow compared to other hardwoods, like oak or walnut. This reduces the time, space, and impact on the environment while also conserving old-growth forests.
Planet Friendly Packaging
98% Recyclable / Biodegradable
Stand Desk packaging is made from 98% recyclable / biodegradable materials. Our frame packaging uses multi-baffled cardboard and the components are also bagged in biodegradable bags. We have reduced our foam desk top edge protection to just the corners and the rest of the edge protection is now with reinforced cardboard. The desk tops are protected further with a fully biodegradable corn starch based sleeve.
Solvent Free Paints
Free of volatile organic compounds
Stand Desk frames are powder coated exclusively using solvent-free paints. Solvents threaten animal and plant life, and the sustainability of our environment and also have numerous detrimental effects on human beings. Our frames manufacturer has SIngaporean certified Green Star certification status.
