What happens to a benching system at end of life — can it be recycled?

Most commercial benching systems are highly recyclable at end of life. Steel frames go to metal recyclers at good scrap value. Laminate work surfaces contain particleboard and paper-based laminate — some recycling facilities accept them, others don't. Aluminum extrusions are also highly recyclable. Some manufacturers have take-back programs that handle end-of-life disposal responsibly. If your organization has sustainability goals, ask your dealer about take-back options before purchase.
