We value our environment:

- Solar powered operations: Our Austin facilities produce over a megawatt of electricity through roof-mounted solar panels on three large warehouses. We produce considerably more power than we consume and have won the Austin Chamber of Commerce Environmental award for the past two years.
- We use sustainable materials in our products. Some examples are:
- Bamboo Desktops, Drawers, & Motion Boards: The world's fastest-growing plant, Moso bamboo is a grass that grows as quickly as an inch an hour
- Eco Curve Desktops: Eco Curve desktops use 100% recycled MDF and have the lowest carbon footprint in the industry due to not using edgebanding, backer boards, adhesives, or solvents
- Rubberwood Desktops: Pará rubber trees produce 99% of the world's natural rubber latex. The rubber production lifespan of these trees is exhausted after about 25-30 years. Our rubberwood desktops give the trees a second life
