More About Haworth (www.Haworth.com):

Haworth’s goal is to lead the green revolution by example. Haworth's workspace solutions are designed to assist our customers in reaching their own sustainability goals,while placing great importance on protecting the environment.

Haworth believes that as business changes and workstyles evolve, workspaces must adapt, too. After all, the office of today looks very different from the office of twenty, ten, or even five years ago.

That's why Haworth is a champion of adaptable workspace solutions. In addition to being more user-focused and economical, they are also more sustainable, responsible choices. And they help bridge aesthetic objectives and business needs.

More about Perfect Settings  (www.Perfectsettings.com):

Perfect Settings is a sustainable business renting party equipment to caterers, event planners, corporations, hotels, museums, government venues and private individuals in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and throughout the United States.

In an effort to help minimize the catering industry’s use of area landfills, Perfect Settings is pleased to announce the inauguration of a recycling program. Perfect Settings will collect all shrink wrap and plastic bags used to pack our equipment and linen, along with rolls of protective plastic for the floor. These items should be bagged together in separate bags, which will be baled later for recycling. We will also collect wire hangers for reuse along with all cardboard boxes that have been broken down.   In addition, when you rent your equipment from us, Perfect Settings will make available at minimal cost, special bins for collecting recyclable glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans. An ideal size for storing under a bar, these containers will come with plastic liners for bagging the recyclables. After your event, we will haul away the above items when we pick up our equipment. By joining us in the recycling effort, you will cut down on the trash you have to haul away, make your client happy and most of all help preserve a tiny piece of Mother Earth for future generations!
