Lateral File Cabinets — Expert Answer
Are there recycled or sustainable lateral file cabinet options?
Many steel lateral file cabinets contain significant recycled steel content — typically 30–65% post-consumer recycled material — since steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world. GREENGUARD-certified cabinets have verified low chemical emissions. Some manufacturers offer cabinets with no-added-formaldehyde composite panels for wood-bodied units. For LEED-certified projects, request environmental product declarations (EPDs) from the manufacturer.
