				<p><strong>Eco-furniture<p>I've worked in the contract furniture industry for the past 3 years, and I'm now the Sustainability Coordinator for my company. &nbsp;I agree Umbra, GreenGuard is a great resource for low-emitting furniture, but just because it doesn't off-gas doesn't always mean it's sustainably manufactured. &nbsp;Mary Beth, you should check out <a href="http://www.sustainablefurniturecouncil.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.sustainablefurniturecouncil.org. &nbsp;They have a great listing of member companies and their websites.<br>
Another point to make regarding the upholstery, there are some GREAT recycled polyester fabrics on the market now that are sturdy enough for commercial use. &nbsp;Check out Interface Fabric's Terratex line (<a href="http://www.terratex.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.terratex.com) or Valley Forge's FRESH line (<a href="http://www.valleyforge.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.valleyforge.com). &nbsp;Many furniture manufacturers will give you a COM option (customer's own material), so even if the manufacturer you go with doesn't offer "green" fabrics you can purchase it separately and send it in for upholstery.<br>
Hope this helps! &nbsp;(And if you need stackable chairs, check out my company at <a href="http://www.mtsseating.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mtsseating.com!)</a></br></a></a></br></a></p></strong></p>
