Zero Waste Emissions
Objective: Eliminate waste and emissions associated with corporate operations and the production of products and services. This includes elimination of all greenhouse gases.
How are we achieving this?
Recycling with a Goal to Eliminate. Haworth operations focus on waste reduction and recycling. Our corporate headquarters waste recycling center opened in 1993 and to date has recycled over 206,000 tons of waste. ISO 14001 environmental management systems (EMS) and lean manufacturing strategies and tools, help us generate new ideas and opportunities to further reduce waste and emissions.

Landfill Reduction. Our Zero Waste and Emissions objective has been driving Haworth operations for some time and will remain an important focus. Since the Holland Recycle Center opened in 1993 we have recycled more than 200,000 tons of waste and become a leader in limiting emissions from our products and manufacturing operations.

Eliminating Emissions. Haworth has been a leader in eliminating volatile organic compounds VOCs) in our products and manufacturing operations for many years. As an example, conversion to water based finishes and adhesives has decreased solvent air emissions 70 percent since 1999 in our Michigan manufacturing facilities, moving us closer to eliminating them altogether.

Water and Wastewater Strategies. Haworth manufacturing facilities around the world have strategies for reducing water usage, maximizing wastewater recovery and ensuring wastewater discharge meets local mandates. These efforts contribute to cost savings and water quality.
