The Huddersfield based furniture company, Connection, is not sitting on it’s green conscience, well actually it is. The EcoStart is the UK ’s first carbon neutral office chair, made with 52% recycled materials it is also 98% recyclable by weight. But the big development here is that Connection had their manufacturing process analysed by one of Europe’s leading sustainability consultancies to ensure that its carbon footprint was as low as possible. This analysis took into account the product’s materials, manufacture, transport, use and disposal at every stage of its development. That’s a pretty committed company. The EcoStart is also made with interchangeable upholstery pads so your boss doesn’t chuck out the chair when it gets a bit tatty. It’s another proof that looking after the environment can be cost effective for business too.
