Brief Description of ChairNumber of Chairs
Chairs are assessed across three environmental impact categories, as follows: • ‘Resource Utilisation’ which assesses the chairs': • Eco Preferred Content (EC); and • Durability (DU).• ‘Management’ which assesses: • the chair manufacturer’s Environmental Management System (EMS); and • Product Stewardship (PS). • ‘Reusability’ which assesses whether the chairs are: • Designed for Disassembly (DD).Each of the environmental impact categories are weighted equally: Total Score = EC + DU + EMS + PS + DD.Maximum Score = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 The number of points determined by the Mat-4 Chairs Calculator are based on a total score out of 50 for each chair type and then weighted according to the number of that chair type as a fraction of total chairs. The final score is provided in the Materials Calculators Output Sheet.
