by Rebecca Walker — December 2, 2009—Arconas announces it is the first airport-seating manufacturer to incorporate soy-based BiOH polyols from Cargill. BiOH polyols give airport passengers the opportunity to rest comfortably on a more environmentally responsible choice, says the company.
The materials replace a portion of the petroleum ingredients typically used in foam production. The company has already introduced Cargill’s BiOH polyols for current orders and will increase the percentage of soy-based components during 2010. All Arconas’ airport-seating lines adhere to a strict environmental policy and have passed the ANSI/BIFMA emissions test.
Arconas is a Canadian furniture manufacturer specialized in airport and public seating, with clients that include some of the world’s largest airports, including Boston Logan, Dallas/Fort Worth, JFK, Hong Kong, La Guardia, Lisbon, Orlando and Ottawa. For more information, see the Web site.
