Mobile Elements - Environment 

During Mobile Elements development process we considered environmental impacts of our decisions at every stage of the product’s lifecycle.   

Life Cycle Assessment

The Mobile Elements is manufactured in Rosenheim, Germany, by Steelcase.  Thanks to the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, Steelcase can quantify the product’s environmental impacts to set the stage forfurther improvements. This method, based on ISO 14044, is selected by the European Union for environmental evaluation. It allows us to measure the environmental impact of our products throughout their lifecycle.
