Herman Miller was recognized by the U.S. EPA with the 2007 WasteWise Gold Achievement Award for its ongoing commitment to the reduction of transport packaging.
The design firm works closely with MBDC and several of its products including the Mirra, Celle and Foray chairs carry the Cradle-to-Cradle certification.
The company has reduced its cardboard and plastic packaging by more than 50%, a result of shipping many of its products in bulk, securely enclosed in reusable blankets.
"Finding smarter ways to ensure our products reach the customer intact is just one aspect of our environmental commitment," says Paul Murray, director of Environmental Health and Safety at Herman Miller. "We are committed to integrity in our deliveries and reducing our environmental footprint."
This is Herman Miller's seventh WasteWise award since the program's introduction in 1994.
