Sustainability & LEED Certification
At Koala, we work hard to be Family and Environmentally Friendly. This is important to us both in the products we make as well as in the environment where we work. Our baby changing stations incorporate post- consumer recycled content and contribute to LEED certification points. Our ECO High Chairs are made from recycled materials. All Koala products are recyclable; check your local recycling facilities for disposal information.
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System® is a voluntary standard that seeks to promote the development of buildings that are sustainable, water and energy efficient, innovative in design, efficiently manage the use of natural resources, and minimize the impact on the community and planet.
Individual materials and products used in buildings are not certified through the LEED program; however, they can contribute to LEED points if certain requirements are met.
