Creating a Sustainable Office in Houston
At The OFIS we are concerned with the corporate footprint being left on the environment. We want to do our part to decrease the corporate impact by offering a wide range of sustainable office solutions. Through our various manufaturers, we can create sustainable office interiors, built to stay in your office and out of the landfill.
Doing what is Right
Being environmentally concious means working toward alleviating our corporate footprint in, and outside of the office. We recycle in our office, but we take that mentality into the field, recycling materials on our project sites as well. From cardboard packaging, to pallets, to leftover steele and metal, we remove it from the project site and find an avenue to recycle it.
The OFIS also helps facilitate the donation of any leftover furnishing at our project sites. Instead of hauling couches and desks to landfills, we help coordinate with local non-profit organizations to donate the furnishings. We offer the help of our team, as well as our vehicles to ensure the proper removal and delivery of these furnishings.
To further help decrease or effect on the environtment, we are proud to partner with several manufactures who are just as concerned about the environment as we are: DIRTT, Spider Agile Technologies, Knoll and OFS.
DIRTT
DIRTT, or Doing It Right This Time was established to create sustainable interior options. Their modular floors and walls are re-useable, allowing companies to change their decor without harming the environment. All of their products are pre-engineerd and pre-manufactured, eliminating construction and the need for demolition. This keeps harmful toxins out of the air and waste out of landfills while maintaining the sustainability of your office.
Spider Agile Technologies
Spider Agile Technologies is a subsidary of DIRTT. A pioneer in plug-and-play, modular power solutions, Spider products also reduce waste sent to landfills and help green your office. Their products not only work hand in hand with DIRTT walls and floors, they are also reusable. Spider products are easy to remove when reconfiguring or moving your workspace. Because they are modular, there is no need to cut cables or re-wire, further eliminating waste.
Knoll
The OFIS is the largest distributor in North America of Knoll office furniture. Founded over 70 years ago, this innovative company has found a way to continuously provide designer furniture while working to reduce the corporate carbon footprint as well. Knoll partners with several organizations across the nation to help create their furniture in an environmentally concious way. A leader in the furniture industry, The OFIS is proud to work with a company who provides high-quality furniture while keeping an eye on their environmental impact.
OFS
The OFIS is proud to partner with OFS, providing a variety of office furnishings created in an environmentally friendly way. Working in a sustainable manner, OFS strives to create high-quality office pieces without a large environmental effect. Their goal is to use manufacturing methods that help prevent pollution and minimize waste. The OFIS is constantly working to reduce its impact on the environment, and a part of that is working with office furniture companies who do so as well. For more information on OFS' commitment to the environment, and for a full list of their environmental efforts visit their site.
