Numbers may vary based on model and options selected. Calcu<strong>la</strong>tions of recycled content are based on data provided <strong>by</strong><br />
suppliers and other avai<strong>la</strong>ble information. This data may include industry averages, ranges or other broadly based information.<br />
<strong>Steelcase</strong> makes conservative assumptions when compiling this information to provide the most accurate recycled content<br />
calcu<strong>la</strong>tions possible but variability in market conditions or manufacturing processes may result in higher or lower content. This<br />
document will be reviewed and updated periodically and is subject to change without notice.<br />

Other Credit Contributions<br />
Although not specific to this product, <strong>Steelcase</strong> has other corporate wide programs that can help support certain<br />
LEED credits. For example, many of our products can be b<strong>la</strong>nket shipped, or shipped using recyc<strong>la</strong>ble packaging<br />
materials. Both options help support Materials & Resources credits targeted to prevent construction waste from<br />
being sent to a <strong>la</strong>ndfill.<br />
Also, both product longevity and the <strong>Steelcase</strong> Phase 2 Program for end of life reuse/recycling support Materials &<br />
Resources credits for Material Reuse, Furniture & Furnishing Reuse, or Source Reduction & Waste Management.<br />
Indoor Advantage and Indoor Advantage Gold are trademarks of Scientific Certification Systems.<br />
