Herman Miller is updating the Aeron chair to reduce its global average embodied carbon by 12%. The redesign focuses on material efficiency, utilizing recycled nylon, bio-based plastics, and a lightened aluminum base to lower the overall environmental impact of the product. By targeting the heaviest components of the chair, the company aims to lower emissions across its supply chain. This update builds on previous sustainability efforts, integrating ocean-bound plastics and biomass balance nylon into the manufacturing process.
