Humanscale approaches environmental responsibility as a core part of its design and manufacturing philosophy rather than an added feature. The company focuses on reducing environmental impact at every stage of a product’s lifecycle, from material sourcing to end of life recyclability. By prioritizing simplicity in design, Humanscale minimizes the number of components used, which reduces resource consumption and makes products easier to recycle. Many of their products are built to last for years of daily use, reducing the need for replacement and limiting overall waste.

A major part of Humanscale’s sustainability strategy centers on material transparency and safer chemistry. The company actively avoids harmful substances and works toward Declare certification, which labels products with a full list of ingredients similar to a nutritional label. This commitment allows designers and consumers to make more informed, environmentally conscious choices. Additionally, Humanscale incorporates recycled materials wherever possible and ensures that products can be disassembled for proper recycling at the end of their lifespan.

Energy efficiency and carbon reduction are also key priorities. Humanscale has invested in renewable energy and has achieved climate positive status, meaning it offsets more carbon than it emits. Their operations, including manufacturing and corporate facilities, are designed to minimize energy use and emissions. Packaging is also carefully considered, using reduced materials and recyclable content to limit environmental impact during shipping.

• Designs products with fewer parts to reduce material use and simplify manufacturing
• Focuses on long product lifespans to reduce replacement cycles and waste
• Uses highly recyclable materials such as aluminum and steel in many products
• Eliminates harmful chemicals including PFAS and PVC from many product lines
• Publishes Declare labels and other transparency documentation for product materials
• Maintains manufacturing facilities with high waste diversion rates and recycling programs
• Achieves TRUE Zero Waste certification at select manufacturing sites
• Monitors and works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption
• Incorporates recycled materials such as reclaimed ocean plastics into certain products
• Supports circular economy practices through product refurbishment and take back initiatives
• Develops climate positive products designed to offset more carbon than they produce
• Prioritizes responsible sourcing and environmentally conscious supply chain practices

Crafted with durability and sustainability in mind, Nova incorporates long lasting components and environmentally responsible materials.

• Precision engineered aluminum structure
• High performance LED light guide system
• Durable polymer components for smooth articulation
• Recycled and recyclable material content

Routine care helps maintain consistent performance and appearance over time. Nova is designed for low maintenance use in everyday environments.

• Clean surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents
• Keep joints free of dust buildup for smooth movement
• Do not expose to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures
