Title The intersection of green chemistry and Steelcase's path to circular economy
Year 2017
Published Green Chemistry Letters And Reviews, 10.0, 4
Abstract Nearly every industry faces the same question, whether they realize it yet or not: how do we reinvent our businesses to ensure resilience and prosperity today and into the future? The current linear economy is fraught with waste, inefficiencies, and toxic chemicals that cost businesses, consumers, and society.
