As a consumer of raw material, they are committed to the use of pre and post consumer waste (recycled material), while preserving the high quality standards of our products. Examples of this include:

Powder Coating VS. Liquid Finishes - National Public Seating products are powder coated and are highly protective to our environment. While liquid finishes contain solvents which have pollutants known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), powder coating contains no solvents and releases negligible amounts, if any, of VOCs into the atmosphere. In addition, most powder coating overspray that does not adhere to the part is retrieved and reused, virtually eliminating the waste commonly found in liquid finishing processes.
