Working from home is an eco-friendly practice since you can cut down on unnecessary resources like transportation, but you can make it even more eco-friendly by buying an green office chair. Did you know that many traditional desk chairs are upholstered with fabrics that have been treated with stain-resistant waterproof finishes and fire retardants? It’s true, and those finishes can off-gas formaldehyde and other nasty volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. Suddenly finding it hard to concentrate on your work?

Look for eco-friendly furniture options like the Steelcase Leap chair, which is made from up to 30% recycled materials. The manufacturing process uses powder-coated paints, water-based adhesives and it’s VOC-free. In fact, the chair is certified for indoor air quality by SCS Indoor Advantage. The cushioning is made from 50% post-consumer PET or recycled plastic soda and water bottles. When shipped, the chair doesn’t come in a box, it’s blanket wrapped instead to cut down on waste. The chair also has Silver Cradle to Cradle product certification from MBDC.
