SPRING LAKE – The Dewey collection of tables, media cabinets and bookshelves by Fixtures Furniture for education solutions now is BIFMA Level 1 certified. Scientific Certification Systems, a global sustainability certifier, conducted the assessment.
The Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer's Association (BIFMA) sustainability standard scores a product, as well as its producing organization and facilities, for sustainability in four areas—Materials, Energy and Atmosphere, Human and Ecosystem Health, and Social Responsibility. level certification requires verification by an independent third party.
“As one of the companies that helped in the development of this new standard, izzy+ is proud to participate in the BIFMA sustainability program," says Dan Vukcevich, vice president of new product development and strategic sourcing for izzy+. “It’s a very positive step for our industry. As A&D professionals and our customers learn more about level certification and how comprehensive it is, we believe it will become a standard requirement for doing business in North America.”
Designed by Joey Ruiter of JRuiter Studio, Dewey by Fixtures Furniture is a complete collection of ready-to-roll tables with power/data troughs, mobile storage for wireless technology and freestanding bookcases. During Dewey’s development, instructors from leading universities and community colleges helped evaluate its design and functionality. Their feedback inspired secure storage, tables on casters to remix the classroom set-up, and technology-enabled furniture like the Helpdesk, an iPod-ready teacher’s station.
