Particle Board

A large majority of particle board is recycled as the board is primarily spruce and fir, with some hemlock and pine, and comes in the form of sawdust and planer shavings. 

Aluminum

Steel

Steel, which averages between 60-70% recycled content, with the scrap being recycled 

Plastics

Recycled Content – Approximately, about 2% of Fluidconcepts product are made of plastics. It is undetermined what % is recycled. 

Paint

All metal painting operations utilize powder-coat processes rather than solvent-based paints, thereby eliminating the risk of indoor air quality contamination from the off-gassing of finishing materials, while greatly reducing contaminant emissions to the atmosphere. A further benefit is the elimination of hazardous waste normally associated with solvent-based finishing processes. 

Adhesives

All adhesives used are water based.
