Reducing Our Footprint While Growing
Ergotron has always made product durability and adaptability a priority. This translates to long-term use (not disposal) of our products.

Let Us Help With Your Green Initiatives
Reduce Future Purchases
Our mounts are built to last so you won’t need to replace them anytime soon. Extremely durable, they undergo performance tests establishing the benchmark and exceeding the industry’s most rigid testing expectations—unlike competitive offerings, you can expect a product like the LX Arm to perform with the same ease and dependability in its 10,000th motion adjustment as in its first. Further, our products’ open-architecture design and adaptability mean that they will continue to be useful when new personnel use a workstation, or your computer hardware is upgraded, or you reconfigure a work space.
Recycle Products
Ergotron offers product recycling services (available in North America only), which can reduce the headache and costs associated with disposal of items like powered computer carts or large wall-mount installations. Be confident that everything within the product has been recycled or disposed of properly. Doing so helps your company comply with the ISO environmental standards.
Build Sustainably
The key to creating efficient work areas is maximized space utilization while improving user interaction with equipment. In terms of Sustainable Building, our products are compliant with certification criteria. Our highly adaptable and space-saving products can help gain LEED-CI, -NC and -EB credits as defined by the U.S. Green Building Council, or earn Green Star points as defined by the Green Building Council Australia through the implementation of a comprehensive ergonomics program.
