Going GreenOver 50 years of innovation and responsible manufacturingSince our beginning fifty years ago, office partitions have gone through many changes, and we’ve been responsible for great advances. Technological innovations we’ve developed have helped us take companies from cube farms to comfort zones, from two guys in a garage to 500 people on three corporate floors. Five decades ago we revolutionized the industry with a demountable wall system. From then to now, we have been delivering smart re-usable office solutions for growing companies on the move. Ultimately, Partition Systems' responsibility continues long after the wall system is up. Our company is founded on outstanding service, and the belief that a well thought out wall, made responsibly, can help us build strong businesses for our clients and a cleaner tomorrow for us all. |
Partition Systems Builds for a Cleaner Tomorrow
This is a promise we put into every leading partition component we make
Because we believe that being committed to improving your office environment also means being committed to improving the environment we all share. Partition Systems Ltd. makes effort everyday to see that the leading wall systems we sell have the least negative impact on the planet. We use mainly natural materials, and everything we manufacture is recyclable. Quality, efficiency, faster time to market, minimal environmental disruption and partnerships with environmentally responsible suppliers are all part of our business process. We’ve put systems in place to see that materials we produce can be easily recycled again and again. PSL uses a system of recycle bins throughout our manufacturing plant to sort remnant waste at the source into standard recyclable groups, these include cardboard, aluminum, steel, plastics and gypsum. Our plant is heated by energy efficient radiant heat, and lighted by energy efficient lamps. Our forklifts have been updated to maximize fuel efficiency and where possible have been replaced with electric units. All our office paper is recycled, and we ship all our products with minimum packaging, which is made from recycled cardboard and kraft paper. |
