Allseating, a leading manufacturer of seating solutions, is proud to announce that its entire line of seating products is now GREENGUARD Children and Schools™ Certified for indoor air quality – the strictest criteria for products intended for use in schools and other environments where children spend significant time. An independent, non-profit organization, the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute™ establishes acceptable standards for indoor products and testing protocols.
“Our kids are the future, so our future success depends on us creating healthy environments that limit their exposure to harmful chemicals and compounds,” says Gary Neil, president and founder of Allseating. “Earning GREENGUARD Children and School™ Certification is yet another example of Allseating’s commitment to creating environmentally friendly seating solutions that support health and well being.”
GREENGUARD Children and Schools™ Certification has been applied to the entire Allseating collection across the full line of fabrics and finish options.
“With GREENGUARD Children and Schools™ Certification, our customers in the education market can be confident that when they choose Allseating products, they’re contributing to creating a healthier atmospheres both inside and out,” adds Neil. “With so much greenwashing in the marketplace, partnering with the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute demonstrates that we really are walking the talk.”
