Aluminium Chairs - Going Green

10 January 2010

There's a new taboo dinner conversation topic. I'm informed that you shouldn't discuss religion, politics.... and climate change.

This past December, 119 World Leaders met in Copenhagen to reach a groundbreaking new deal on the issues which are either threatening our existence, or not, depending on your point of view. I wasn't invited. The World Leaders couldn't agree on too many things and didn't play nicely. My 11 year old daughter and her friends wrote a letter to our New Zealand Prime Minister asking what was being done about saving the polar bears in the Arctic. She hasn't got a reply yet. All this got me to thinking about "going green". You've heard about our Aluminum ALLOYFOLD Chair: 30% lighter than steel, no rusting, no scratching, looks good for longer... yeah yeah... we know that... well, it's also the "greenest" rental chair you'll find. Our tube is made of 70% recycled Aluminum that uses a fraction of the energy required to produce virgin product. That same tube is also 100% recyclable, as is the PP plastic seat and back. But that's not the most exciting part- here's a real dinner conversation topic: ALLOYFOLD has a premium rental life 2 to 3 times that of a steel chair. Replace them half as often and be more than twice as energy efficient. Halve your carbon footprint and your contribution to the local land fill! (Incidentally replacing chairs half as often is also quite good for your bottom line). Don't just take it from me- listen to what our customers say about the rental life of Alloyfold chairs: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AMmqoK3wcyI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Call me on 1-888-368 7713 or visit us at The Rental Show booth 4459 where we can talk all about chairs - and about saving the polar bears.
