    Designing for Sustainability

    We’re working toward better futures for the planet by recognizing our role in climate change and reducing our environmental impact, to help build a more sustainable and resilient world. We do this by making, sourcing and delivering products that help reduce our carbon footprint, designing for circularity, and choosing and using materials responsibly.​

    Since its introduction, Answer’s durable frame construction extended its useful life as it was reconfigured and reused. Today, Answer® is even more planet friendly: new engineered bulk packaging fits 100 screens in each pack (versus 48) and eliminates single-use foam, saving over 60,000 lbs. per year. Answer skins shipped in bulk cuts down on plastic packaging, reducing plastic film use by 95%. A new process to apply reclaimed paint to Answer junctions diverted 97,000 pounds of waste powder coat from landfills.​​

    Answer panel systems has a third-party verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for complete lifecycle environmental impact transparency, has achieved BIFMA LEVEL® 3 certification, has a Red List Approved Declare label from the Living Building Challenge and indoor air quality (IAQ) certification through Scientific Certification Systems Indoor Advantage™ Gold.
