Did You Know…?

Details

At Krost, we are committed to reducing our impact on the environment. We know that office furniture can leave a big footprint, and we see it as our responsibility to minimise that footprint as much as possible.

We use environmentally friendly materials in our manufacturing processes. Many of our products use recycled and recyclable materials such as steel or ABS plastic. All items are packaged in recyclable cardboard or plastic to further reduce waste.

Our workstation panels are all upholstered with water-based glues that are environmentally safe, solvent-free, and have no emission concerns. Furthermore, our melamine and veneer are manufactured with low formaldehyde emissions and comply with Australia E1 standards. Wherever possible, we use E0 board, which emits only half the standard recommended E1 level. We also follow best practice principles for our environmental management. Our processes are in full compliance with ISO 14001, the international standard for Environmental Management Systems.

We design our furniture to be reusable, striving to expand its lifespan with highly adaptable systems. These systems can be disassembled and reassembled, so if you are relocating, your Krost furniture can be moved and refitted. It can follow the same or a different configuration to suit your new space.
