City of Newberg going Green

The City of Newberg had a vision when they came to Absolute Office of Oregon http://www.absoluteofficeoforegon.com/ to look at Baltix which is our line of Sustainable Furniture. It's was great to work with them and their support to become more sustainable. Our first project is with the City of Newberg Public Works Director, Howard Hamilton. Howard was great to work with on this project. He want to use sustainable product like, Forbo surface material, Bio Edge, and Sierra Pine Arreis for all the other material for his office. Arries is a sustainable medium density fiberboard manufactured from 100% post-industrial recycled wood residuals.

Compass Community Bank

Before


After
I was privileged to work with Steve Ferber CEO of Compass Community Bank. From start to finish Steve was not only helpful sharing his vision on how his team wants the bank to look but had much patience when the product fell behind in production. We worked together to solve some issues that the bank needed before their Grand Opening. Not only Steve, but the employees are friendly, professional and they like to support the local economy.

What is used furniture?

As a consumer, you have several options available to you when selecting office furniture. Here's a brief description of the different types of products on the market:
Recycled Office Furniture Recycled office furniture is a term often used for any post-consumer office furniture that has been diverted out of the solid waste stream and back into the market with or without repairs. This includes refurbished, and re-used (as-is/used) office furniture, both of which are being “used again.”
Refurbished Office Furniture is recycled office furniture that has had value added to the product. Products are disassembled, parts are inspected, cleaned, repaired or replaced, reassembled and refinished to “like new” conditions, and returned to the market for sale.

Reused Office Furniture, “used,” or “as-is” office furniture is recycled office furniture that has been returned to the market for sale without repair or improvement to its appearance.
New Office Furniture New office furniture is new furniture purchased from the original equipment man-ufacturer (OEM) for resale by your company. It is composed entirely of OEM parts. The parts are made mostly of raw materials (natural resources) that have not been used before although some manufacturers' components may have recycled content.

HON "Thinks Green"

One of the reasons Absolute Office of Oregon www.absoluteofficeoforegon.com is the newest HON Direct Dealer in Oregon:

In 1947 the corporation began making card files from pieces of scrap metal generated from its contract business. More than fifty years later, The HON Company practices one of the industry's strongest and most comprehensive programs to conserve raw materials and reduce waste. Today, environmental management is firmly embedded in all HON Company manufacturing processes. We define waste as anything that does not bring value to the customer, and life cycle considerations are a significant part of all product development efforts. We believe in the integration of safety into environmental philosophy and policies. To us, safety and environment go hand in hand — our overriding goal is to increase safety at the same time we reduce our impact on the environment. Individual responsibility is a fundamental here, based on the knowledge that we each can impact the environment and workplace safety every day. We strive always to move beyond what we are required to do — to focus on what we are capable of doing. At The HON Company, lean is green. The cellular manufacturing techniques we use across the company bring human scale to process requirements. To work in cells, processes have to be human-friendly. This serves to eliminate harmful solvents and reduce waste, enabling improvement of environmental performance and business performance at the same time — less waste equals less cost. Green is not trendy; it's a part of our culture. It has always been a part of The HON Company's way of doing business.
