New whiteboard line goes 'green'

LINCOLNSHIRE -- Quartet is introducing consumers to the first environmentally friendly whiteboards and bulletin boards to hit the retail market. Its new Envi line boasts McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry's Cradle-to-Cradle silver certification, which verifies that the boards are created to ensure minimal impact to the environment throughout their entire life cycle. The Envi boards are made with MBDC-certified safe materials -- cork, cardboard and steel -- which are sustainable and recyclable, so they can be reused and do not have to be dumped in landfills.
