At National, we realize that the environmental impact of a product throughout
its entire life is important. That is why we have conducted a Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) that is compliant to ISO 14040/14044 on a number of our
products. LCA is a method of addressing the environmental aspects throughout
a product's life cycle from raw material acquisition through production, use,
end-of-life treatment and disposal. These assessments help us establish
targets for lessening the product's environmental impact.
An LCA conducted on our wood casegoods finished with IntegraClear™
has been completed with work underway on laminate casegoods. Refer to
ecoScorecard
for information on specific series. Combined with
our Design for the Environment (DfE) approach, LCAs provide the benchmark to
base improvements on and guide future decisions such as sourcing, production
and distribution to ensure consistent progress is made in reducing our footprint.
