Company | Green-volution

Shore Total Office is the leading authority in green design and green practices.  Why do we claim this?  We claim this because the responsibility of green office design rests in the actual practices of the company.  At Shore, we practice creating value for our clients.  Value is more than just price; it involves the best green practices and principles to achieve the best overall value for the life of the product. 

Shore engages actively in two diverse, but interrelated practices:
  • Greenguard & FSC certified manufacturer selections
  • Corporate environmental stewardship
Greenguard
When designing the office interiors, manufacturers that meet the strictest guidelines for air quality and product content are needed.  Greenguard is a certification that indicates the product has passed tests for air quality, product recycled content, and renewable resource inclusion.  When designing for a green office, this certification is critical in providing products that work within the scope of the project.

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
The Forest Stewardship Council is an oversight organization that regulates the healthy logging practices needed to support the office furniture industry.  While the industry relies heavily on logging, this logging can be environmentally responsible.  The FSC supports and regulates manufacturers to use preferred sources for timber, veneers, and particle boards to minimize the use of illegal or un-friendly lumber sources. 

Shore Corporate Environmental Practices
At Shore, we have been in the practice of supporting the environment for over 30 years.  This is not simply a fad, but woven securely in our culture and business future.

For over 30 years, Shore has been the #1 recycler of used furniture in San Diego.  On average, we recycle about 300 tons of used furniture per year.  This furniture would otherwise end up in a landfill from companies going out of business or downsizing. 

This effort is quite significant in more than just recycling.  This practice allows smaller start up businesses to flourish with lower cost items and weather the cash pitfalls of small business.

On top of supporting the environment and local economy, we take our office practices further:
  • We recycle all cardboard and packaging materials from furniture
  • We recycle all metal files, desks, and panel systems into scrap metal
  • Do not have a full HVAC system to lower overhead and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere
  • Entire store has energy efficient lights and motion sensors for occupancy lighting
  • Support LEED accreditation for our associates
Shore Total Office is a proud member of the US Green Building Council.
