How can Spacesaver assist your projects in obtaining a LEED rating?
LEED category consideration: Spacesaver's high-density mobile shelving can make a difference in five categories...
Category 1: Sustainable Sites By Allowing a dramtatic increase - as much as 50 to 100 percent over conventional, stationary storage methods, high density mobile storage systems may help reduce building size, thus reducing site disturbance and preserving oven space. By greatly expanding the on-site storage capacity, an existing facility could be renovated, thus allowing the shell to be retained.
*Here's four other LEED categories that Spacesaver can help impact* |

The Economic Benefits of High-Density Shelving
 It's all about the bottom line...
Switching to high-density mobile storage can immediately increase storage capacity in an existing facility by 50 to 100 percent, often helping an organization avoid the expense and hassle of a move or new construction.

Green Manufacturing
Spacesaver's Five Key Components of Green Manufacturing
Recycled Water
Spacesaver uses recycled water to thoroughly clean its products before painting. This solvent-free process, called aqueous degreasing, along with strict quality control, prevents greenhouse emissions and eliminates heavy metals from wastewater. The process is so effective that products need only be painted with a single coat to meet or exceed industry standards.
Powder-Coat Painting
A solvent free process, Spacesaver's powder-coat painting process is also highly efficient. The powdered paint is confined and reclaimed to minimize waste. Ninety-seven percent of the paint ends up on a product. Powder-coat paint, which requires no primer, also smoothes metallic "burrs", eliminating the need for grinding or filing.
