Eliminate Used Furniture Getting Dumped in Landfills.
Buy Remanufactured.
Although many new office furniture products are made from a percentage of recycled content, remanufactured office furniture is reused – the highest form of “Green”. Remanufacturing conserves energy and natural resources over new manufacturing by up to 95%! It also avoids the solid waste stream and air pollution caused by the new office furniture production process.
New office furniture production is intensive in its use of fossil fuels, raw materials and waste. By choosing environmentally friendly furniture and following the simple “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle” adage, MFC makes it easy to buy office furniture that is Green.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
Purchasing remanufactured office furniture can also help your company achieve LEED® certification from the United States Green Building Council. LEED for Commercial Interiors (LEED CI) is a rating system that addresses the specifics of tenant spaces primarily in office and institutional buildings. LEED CI provides the opportunity for building tenants to design and certify high performance, healthy, durable, affordable and environmentally sound workplaces.
