Eco-design – Eastside’s environmental performance
Making eco-design is in itself a step towards sustainability, taking into account environmental, social
and economic issues. Sustainability is not just about getting your plants certified. It’s about creating
products that include both environmental and human health as key decision parameters, alongside usual
considerations like quality, reliability and price.
Lifecycle Thinking for environmentally friendly products
At Steelcase we designed Eastside applying expertise to measure, analyse then reduce the impacts that
our products have on the environment.
Materials Assessment
For Eastside we selected materials that are safe, healthy, and ecologically sound throughout their lifecycle,
some of them with our partner McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC)
Lifecycle Assessment (LCA)
The LCA methodology is the starting point for the continuous improvement of our products. It is based
on the ISO 14040-43 and has been selected by the European Union for environmental evaluation.
Environmental parameters considered throughout Eastside’s lifecycle are: Global warming, Acidification,
Eutrophication, Photochemical smog, Abiotic resource depletion, Waste, and Toxic Substances.
Our partners when carrying out LCA studies are: the Institute for Product Development in Denmark, the
Institute for Engineering Design in Austria and the Institute of Chambery in France.

Name of the Client + Project + Logo
To ensure a more environmentally healthful product we considered the potential environmental impact
throughout Eastside’s entire lifecycle -- from materials extraction to end-of-use strategies -- as part of our
overall design and development process.
This global vision over Eastside’s lifecycle helped us avoid the transfers of pollution from one stage to another or
from one country to another.
