Gasser’s commitment to the environment has been a matter of policy from the very beginning. As an industry leader of sustainable chair manufacturing, understanding our impact allows us to improve our plan for a carbon neutral future.
Sustainable every step of the way.
Sourcing
Our sourcing process strives to make the lightest carbon footprint possible. We source our raw materials locally and regionally when possible, prioritize post-consumer raw materials and aspire to eliminate single use products.
Manufacturing
Built to last, our quality products offer a longer lifecycle to reduce landfill waste for a cleaner planet. Our advanced manufacturing methods improve efficiency while reducing scrap. Leftover scrap is sent for upcycling to further eliminate waste and save energy.
Post Production
Committing to a circular economy, we reuse, recycle, and repurpose all materials as much as possible. Examples include blanket wrapped shipping, reusing or recycling shipping materials, and offering resources to repurpose the chairs being replaced.
2030
We are currently working to achieve a Zero Waste Certification through UL 2799 by 2030.
Our production facilities.
Energy-management initiatives
With a large manufacturing campus, we efficiently manage energy consumption through various approaches. We work to save energy through using an electronically controlled ventilation system, LED lighting, and radiant heating systems.
Clean air and water methods
Our eco-friendly production process works to promote cleaner water and air from start to finish. We use finishes that reduce VOCs along with a negative ion generator to eliminate fumes. Additionally, our reverse osmosis powder coat line supplies clean water back into the system.
