New Counterweights for Steelcase Large Case Storage Products: An Environmentally Friendly Solution

Changes to many of Steelcase’s large case storage counterweight packages continue to demonstrate the company’s commitment to environmentally friendly solutions. New counterweights have replaced existing counterweight packages as of orders that shipped December 3, 2007.

The company’s new counterweights are made from 95% reclaimed steel mill slag, previously sent to landfills. The slag is ground and bonded with high density polyethylene in a unique manufacturing process which allows it to be formed and cut into weight packages. The counterweights can be recycled with other steel products at the end of their useful life. All of these factors demonstrate Steelcase’s continued commitment to environmentally friendly solutions.
