Being GreenNot as Hard you might think.

Many businesses would like to be more environmentally conscientious, but believe the high costs of ecologically friendly goods prohibitive.

Contrary to popular belief purchasing environment-friendly remanufactured cubicles will not only help save the planet, it will benefit your bottom line.

In fact, our remanufactured Herman Miller© cubicles can cost less than half the price of new.

Buy Remanufactured from Cubicles.com and make them Green with Envy:

Every year $1.5 billion in new Herman Miller© product is sold. Many more billions if you add the other major office furniture manufacturers i.e. Steelcase, Knoll, Haworth, etc.

Typically, when new cubicles replace existing, the existing cubes are sent to a landfill and never made useful again.

More energy is consumed, more harmful pollutants emitted and waste created when new virgin materials are consumed to produce new cubicles.

We remanufacturer first life products and re-engineer them to look, feel, and function like new while using a small fraction of the energy and raw materials otherwise used.

Remanufactured cubicles can contribute to points in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED™ Certification program.
