Environmental Stewardship
Proud member of
Stand Desk is committed to operating an environmentally friendly business. We exclusively use environmentally friendly materials in our stand desk products. We are proud members of ‘1% For the Planet’. Read on to find out more about our environmental practices.
Bamboo Desktops
From sustainable plantations
The vast majority of desks, including adjustable height desks, use pressed-wood products, laminate, veneer or MDF. These are packed with formaldyhyde which is toxic to both humans and the environment.
What’s the perfect natural, beautiful, and sustainable material? Bamboo. It is the fastest growing woody plant on earth. Technically a grass, bamboo has been known to grow 39 inches in just 24 hours. Our bamboo desktops are FSC certified.
Solvent Free Paints
Free of volatile organic compounds
Stand Desk frames are powder coated exclusively using solvent-free paints. Solvents threaten animal and plant life, and the sustainability of our environment and also have numerous detrimental effects on human beings.
