Aeron’s Cradle to Cradle certification will enable the company achieve its 2010 goal of generating 50% sales from products that meet the Design for the Environment (DfE) protocol.
All Aeron chair production will be Cradle to Cradle Silver certified, with 94% recyclability and up to 64% recycled materials.
