Maxon Furniture is dedicated to the continual improvement of our environment and the preservation of natural resources. A major goal of our program is continual reduction in the use of landfills through recycling and waste reduction practices. The products we make are designed for sustainable life. Reuse and reconfiguration are all part of the design criteria.

Here are some of the ways that Maxon Furniture turns Green “talk” into action:

  • Our supplier certification program identifies companies with environmental goals similar to ours:
    • Our Wilsonart® laminate offerings are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified
    • All of our Terratex® fabrics contain 100% recycled materials and can contribute points toward LEED™ certification
    • Our particle board suppliers use up to 50% recycled content from post-consumer waste and post-industrial sources
  • We use only non-VOC-based paint and adhesives in the manufacturing process
  • Our Products utilize steel that contains an average of 30% post-consumer materials
  • Our Products utilize aluminum that contains an average of 20% post-consumer materials
  • Our packaging materials contain an average of at least 70% post-consumer materials
  • Our outbound load planning system combines product shipments to geographical areas to reduce fuel consumption and fuel emissions of the trucking companies.

At Maxon, going Green is more than just a change of color. Environmental sustainability is at the heart of our people, our processes, and our products.
