New York State releases green procurement guidelines for furniture.

  • 2017-10-03

New York State has issued green procurement guidelines for furniture. Several municipal and state governments in the United States are currently working to limit or discourage the inclusion of hazardous chemicals in furniture. New York State recently adopted a green procurement guideline specifically targeting harmful chemicals in furniture, requiring all public agencies and authorities in the state to comply. This guideline was developed under the authorization of the New York State Executive Order on Green Procurement and Institutional Sustainability (Executive Order 4), guiding state agencies to focus on procuring furniture that reduces or eliminates risks to human health and environmental safety. This standard applies to the procurement of furniture for public meeting rooms, dormitories, libraries, offices, and schools. The regulations also specify several restrictions and limits, including: – Limiting the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) content to less than 1% by weight; – Prohibiting lead content in all products except for electrical components and electronic products; – Prohibiting the intentional addition of perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) used for stain-resistant, water-resistant, or oil-resistant treatments; – Ensuring that composite wood products comply with California formaldehyde regulations; – Prohibiting most chemical antimicrobial agents; – Encouraging the avoidance of certain phthalates, including DBP, DIBP, BBP, DnPP, DEHP, DnOP, DINP, and DIDP; – Avoiding the intentional addition of flame retardants within the permitted range of flammability requirements. The state government referenced guidelines published by NGOs, industry standards, and procurement standards from the health services industry when deciding which chemicals needed to be restricted. This draft of green furniture procurement requirements, released for public comment last year, received very positive feedback from many furniture associations. This demonstrates that the furniture industry is moving towards a green and environmentally friendly direction. It is recommended that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China that manufacture furniture or parts actively replace the aforementioned hazardous substances that may be present in their products, thereby aligning with the US market and increasing their competitiveness.
