Sustainability
The Folding Surfaces follow HOWE Design for Environment protocol. The table is designed for disassembly, allowing for easy repair and refurbishment, which extends its lifecycle and reduces waste. All materials used to produce the Folding Surfaces table are manufactured in alignment with the HOWE Code of Conduct.
We can offer tabletop versions sourced from FSC® and PEFC® certified wood, promoting responsible forest management. We also test our tabletops selection according to BIFMA M7.1 - determining VOC emissions from office furniture. This enables us to control the amount of Volatile Organic Compounds, among other formaldehyde, for safer materials for users and the environment.
The table’s steel frame is 100% recyclable and contains 20% of the recycled content, contributing to resource efficiency. Additionally, plastic components are marked with Plastic Identification Codes wherever possible to facilitate recycling.
HOWE a/s commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated by our ISO 9001 Quality Management and ISO 14001 Environmental Management certifications. By following the HOWE Sustainable Design Guidelines, the Folding Surfaces table not only delivers functionality and durability but also safest and healthiest products possible.
