Sustainability & Environmental

Every move we make, every step we take... We look at how we can minimise the effect of our business and our products. As well as being passionate standing desk specialists, we are also passionate about our planet, and do everything we can to be 'planet positive'! (We even use bamboo toilet roll, and don't use oil based products to run our buildings or sales reps' vehicles!)

 

Here's just a few things we guarantee:

  • Every desk top is made from FSC sustainable wood
  • For every order we receive, we fund the planting of 5 trees in the UK and across the world to reduce carbon.
  • Our metal components are VOC free, to eliminate harmful emissions during the manufacturing process
  • Our standing desk frame components are made from 25% recycled materials, and are also recyclable.

How does Ergodesks planting trees help?

 

For every order placed through our website (yes, even samples!) we are commited to planting 5 trees. These trees are planted both across the UK, and the whole world over. The picture on the left shows one of the Uk projects we support.

What does this do to help?

  1. Carbon dioxide absorption: Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and store it in their tissues. This process helps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which is essential to combat climate change.

  2. Soil conservation: Trees play an important role in preventing soil erosion. Their roots hold the soil in place, reducing the impact of erosion caused by wind and water. This helps to protect the quality of the soil and prevent desertification.

  3. Habitat restoration: Trees provide shelter and food for a wide range of species, including insects, birds, and mammals. Planting trees helps to restore habitat that may have been lost due to deforestation or other environmental factors.

  4. Water conservation: Trees help to regulate the water cycle by absorbing and storing rainwater. This helps to reduce the risk of flooding and ensures a steady supply of water for nearby communities.

  5. Air purification: Trees filter pollutants from the air, including nitrogen oxides, ammonia, and sulfur dioxide. This helps to improve air quality, which is essential for the health and well-being of humans and other species.

By choosing Ergodesks, you choose to make a difference.

At Ergodesks, sustainability and reducing our environmental impact are core values that guide everything we do. We believe that it is our responsibility to not only create products that meet the needs of our customers, but to do so in a way that respects and preserves our planet for future generations.

One way that we demonstrate our commitment to sustainability is through the use of 100% FSC paper-based top packaging. FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, which is an international organization that promotes responsible management of the world's forests. By using FSC-certified paper, we can be sure that the paper we use comes from responsibly managed forests, which helps to protect wildlife habitats, prevent deforestation, and support the livelihoods of local communities.

In addition to using sustainable packaging materials, we also take steps to reduce our overall environmental impact in other ways. For example, we have implemented a recycling program throughout our company, which includes not only paper and cardboard but also plastic, glass, and aluminum. We also encourage our employees to reduce their own environmental footprint by providing information and resources on how to conserve energy and water, reduce waste, and use public transportation or carpooling when possible.

Another way we strive to be sustainable is by using energy-efficient technologies in our manufacturing processes. For example, we have invested in energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems, as well as machinery that is designed to use less water and electricity. We also regularly monitor our energy and water usage to identify areas where we can make improvements and reduce our overall consumption.

Finally, we work closely with our supply-chain to ensure that they share our commitment to sustainability. This includes sourcing raw materials from suppliers that use sustainable practices, such as organic farming or renewable energy. We also evaluate our suppliers based on their environmental impact and encourage them to adopt more sustainable practices where possible.

In conclusion, Ergodesks is committed to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact in every way we can. From using FSC-certified paper for our packaging to investing in energy-efficient technologies and working with our suppliers to promote sustainability, we believe that every small step we take can make a big difference in preserving our planet for future generations.
