CO2 emissions from the production of RH Extend and RH Logic 400 chairs have fallen by over 30% in the last year. This is the findings from a third party audit conducted in relation to EPD documentation and climate declarations.
This decrease is due to large parts of the chairs that were made from virgin aluminium now being made using recycled aluminium. The RH 400 now has a new aluminium base which consists of less aluminium and also has a lower weight. .
As part of our continuous improvement process, the goal during 2010 is to continue to reduce CO2 emissions from our chairs. Through our EPD documents and climate declarations (which you can download) you can read about the improvements and the life cycle assessment used to calculate the emissions and effect on environment.
Here you will find EPD documents and climate declarations.
