Over
the Years, Ergonomic Comfort Design, Inc. has established its
name in the office furniture market by providing one of the most
comfortable, high quality and functional ergonomic chairs in the
industry. We also pride ourselves in our efforts of producing
safer products that follow the guidelines of a cleaner and healthier
in-door air quality for a better office environment.
Materials Sourcing
ECD strives to use materials that are processed in an environmentally
responsible manner or consist of high level of recycled material.
Our vendors are committed to eliminating negative chemicals and
vapors, some of which lead to health problems and low productivity.
As part of our safety process, we require from our main suppliers
a written certification confirming that their components are free
form harmful chemicals.
Fabric
Momentum Textiles offers their Terratex Fabric of recycled polyester,
which is available in all or our seating products. Omission of
finishes makes it possible to recycle Terratex Fabrics upon completion
of their useful life span.
Manufacturing
ECD uses manufacturing processes that are friendly and non-threatening
to our environment. Materials used in the production process contain
no Ozone Depleting Substances (ODSs) (chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
or hydrocloroflourcarbons (HCFCs)). Our systems are in full compliance
with EPA requirements concerning Clean Air and Clean Water. We
recycle scrap metal, paper and corrugated waste. We work diligently
with our local power company to determine effective ways to conserve
energy in our operations.
Delivery
Our Chairs are shipped using reusable packaging materials such
as blankets and other such materials as recyclable cardboard boxes.
Disposal
ECD designs and manufactures products with long life cycles to
reduce total disposals. ECD products carry a lifetime warranty
(with a few exceptions) and are designed to last for well over
10 years, meaning our products limit the dispose and re-purchase
cycle that causes many environmental problems.
ECD eliminated the printed owner’s manual in January of
2006. End users have the ability to log on to www.ecdonline.net
and learn how to operate their new chair by watching an animated
tutorial. ECD is currently working on eliminating the printed
catalog by having an “online” Catalog with brochures
and pricing.
ECD welcomes visitors to tour our factory and see for themselves
our commitment for a cleaner environment.
