When shopping around for new office furniture, Bush modular office furniture came highly recommended. I was very excited about what I discovered about Bush Industry, good reasons to support them. Besides their products being “Made in America”, they are also very environmentally friendly. Learn about some of the things that one big company is doing to make their footprint on the world smaller.
They have three main brands:
Bush is environmentally aware from the beginning to the end of their manufacturing process. They start with recycled or recovered wood fiber, and then they reuse or recycle much of their factory byproducts. The leftover wood chips and sawdust from manufacturing Bush modular office furniture are used for such diverse things as boiler fuel to cow bedding at local farms. They also reuse and recycle scraps of paper, plastic, cardboard, light metal and heavy steel. Any large manufacturing machines that are taken out of service are stripped down for parts reuse and recycling. Bush even makes their own pallets from factory scraps! Not only in the factories, but also in their offices, unneeded items are recycled; including computer equipment and peripherals, light bulbs and batteries.
Besides recycling byproducts from manufacturing Bush modular office furniture, the company has other green initiatives. This includes initiatives to cut energy use with weekly energy audits to identify and correct any potential energy waste. It also includes sustainability in their design process. Products are designed to minimize waste creation. Two of their recent green successes includes a 60% reduction in angle-board material use and a 25% decrease in shrink wrap use (by simply switching to high-performance stretch film).
This is just a small look at changes that a large company can make to be environmentally friendly. I was impressed with the many diverse ways that Bush recycled and reused products as well as ways they cut back on their energy use. It made me aware of ways I wasn't familiar with, and made me wonder what else I can do to help the environment. But, the first thing I do know is to support Green U.S companies. So when I go shopping for my new office furniture, the first thing I am going to do is look at Bush modular office furniture!
