Recycled Office Furniture | |
| Recycling glass, paper, plastic and aluminum cans and other everyday products is now a standard practice in households and offices across America. But many consumers are unaware that office furniture is also a recyclable product. The basic function of most office furniture is that it is lasting and has a long life span. Instead of wearing out, it is often replaced because it has been depreciated completely and/or fabric colors and other elements are outdated over time. In the past, an office face-lift or a new color scheme meant old furnishings were put in storage or else trashed completely. Today, OfficeFurnitureCenter.com and companies a few companies like us, supply high quality pre-owned office furniture to the marketplace. This process diverts some of the pre-owned office furniture out of the solid waste stream and back into the consumer market. Furniture destined for the dump is instead looking great and functioning "like new" again. Not only does quality pre-owned furniture look and perform similar to new furniture, there is an average savings of 80% when compared with new. OfficeFurnitureCenter.com's quality, pre-owned office furniture or their remanufactured office furniture offers an attractive alternative to purchasing new product. Whether you're buying quality pre-owned or remanufactured office furniture, you can be assured of a quality product, a cost effective product and most importantly, an environmentally - conscience product. What's good for the environment is good for your business. What is Recycled Office FurnitureAs a consumer, you have several options available to you when selecting office furniture. Below is a brief description of the different types of product on the market. Recycled Office FurnitureRecycled office furniture is a term often used for any post-consumer office furniture that has been diverted out of the solid waste stream and back into the market with or without repairs. This includes remanufactured, refurbished, and as-is office furniture, all of which are being "used again. Remanufactured Office FurnitureRemanufactured office furniture is recycled office furniture that has had value added to the product. Products are completely disassembled, parts are inspected, cleaned, repaired or replaced, reassembled and refinished to "like new" conditions, and returned to the market for sale. Refurbished Office FurnitureRefurbished office furniture is recycled office furniture that has had value added to the product by being "touched - up" or cosmetically improved and then returned to the market for sale. Used Office FurnitureReused or used," or "as-is" office furniture is recycled office furniture that has been returned to the market for sale without repair or improvement to its appearance. Design BenefitsMany consumers are amazed at the options available when choosing quality pre-owned, recycled, and remanufactured furniture. Instead of a pre-determined selection of colors, fabrics and finishes, remanufactured and refurbished office furniture allows you complete creative freedom. If you can conceive it, OfficeFurnitureCenter.com can help you achieve it. Remanufactured furniture offers an almost limitless range of colors, fabrics, finished, and laminates to give you the ultimate flexibility. We can also help you mix and match new and recycled furniture with your current furnishings to provide additional design options. Starting from scratch? No problem! Work with one of our talented designers in achieving your goals. Cost BenefitsWe've established that recycled office furniture can look as good as new, but what about cost? After all, office furniture represents a major investment for most companies. We're happy to report that buying remanufactured office furniture generally offers a savings of 30 to 50 percent off the cost new furniture and quality pre-owned furniture generally offers a savings of 70 to 80 percent off the cost of new furniture. First of all, you won't have to pay expensive storage or waste disposal fees for your outdated furniture. Secondly, you may have additional depreciation advantages to extending the life of your existing furnishings instead of incurring an additional capital expenditure. Recycling also sets a great example for your company's employees. It shows that your firm is managing the company's assets wisely and sends the message that conservation and waste reduction is an important corporate goal. Allowing us to furnish your office can be a attractive decision financially as well as aesthetically. | |

Ms. Mary Claire Walsh
SpineUniverse Staff Writer
Certain job tasks or activities of daily living require many of us to perform repeated movements of the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, and back. Over time, these movements can cause damage to various parts of the body. These injuries, which are among the most common injuries in the United States, are referred to as Repetitive Motion Disorders (RMDs).
What are RMDs?
As the name suggests, repetitive motion disorders are a group of musculoskeletal conditions caused by movements that are performed repeatedly. RMDs can be caused by:
• Overexertion
• Incorrect posture
• Friction caused by an unnatural or awkward motion such as twisting the arm or wrist
RMDs may cause symptoms because of muscle fatigue, local inflammation and swelling or compression of nerve tissue. Examples of RMDs include:
• Carpal tunnel syndrome - when the narrowed tunnel of bones and ligaments in the wrist pinches the nerves in the fingers and the muscles at the base of the thumb.
• Bursitis - an inflammation of the fluid-filled sac (bursa) that lies between a tendon and skin, or between a tendon and bone.
• Tendonitis - an inflammation, irritation, and swelling of a tendon.
• Epicondylitis (tennis elbow) - an inflammation, soreness, or pain on the outside of the upper arm near the elbow.
• Ganglion cyst - when tissues surrounding certain joints, usually the wrist, become inflamed and swell up with fluid.
• Tenosynovitis - when the lining of the sheath that surrounds a tendon becomes inflamed.
• Trigger finger - a painful or painless clicking or snapping or locking of a finger.
It is important to note, however, that all of the above conditions may have other causes and occur in the absence of repetitive motion.
Who is at risk for RMDs?
Anyone who engages in repetitive activities can get a RMD. Certain professions and activities increase the risk, including:
• Assembly line work
• Meatpacking
• Sewing
• Playing musical instruments
• Computer work/typing (or in the case of children, playing video or computer games)
• Carpentry
• Gardening
• Sports such as tennis or golf
• Lifting children
What are symptoms of RMDs?
Symptoms of these disorders may include one or more of the following:
• Pain or stiffness in the fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders, neck or back.
• Tingling or numbness in the hands or fingers.
• Visible swelling or redness of the affected area.
• Loss of flexibility and strength.
• For some individuals, there may be no visible sign of injury although they may find it hard to perform easy tasks.
Injuries caused be repetitive movements usually develop slowly over a period of time. Initially the symptoms may be mild and come and go. However, if left untreated, the symptoms can become very painful and even debilitating.
How can they affect the spine?
While most RMDs affect the arms and hands, they can occur in the spine as well. The majority of back injuries (particularly those that occur in the workplace) are the result of long-term, repetitive wear and tear on the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and discs in the spine. Repetitive movements such as pulling, straining, reaching, twisting, and bending can weaken and stress the structures of the spine and increase the risk of injury.
Treatment for RMDs
The first step in treating a RMD is to reduce or stop the motions that are causing the symptoms. Other treatments may include:
• Splints - to relieve pressure on the muscles and nerves.
• Medications - such as pain relievers, cortisone, and anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling.
• Physical therapy - to relieve soreness and pain in muscles and joints and to strengthen muscles to help prevent future injuries.
• Ice therapy - to reduce pain and swelling.
• Surgery - in rare cases, may be necessary to help relieve symptoms and prevent permanent damage.
Prevention
RMDs can be prevented. Use these important tips to reduce your risk for a repetitive motion injury:
• Take a break - avoid overuse of muscles by giving your body a chance to rest.
• Exercise - stretching and relaxation exercise can help build strength and increase mobility and range of motion and prevent future injury.
• Check your posture - correct posture during any type of activity helps align the elbow, wrist, hands and spine during repetitive motions.
• Use proper technique - avoid overreaching, stretching and twisting.
• Use protective equipment and have a properly designed workstation - make sure your office or work equipment is at the proper height and distance and allows you to perform your work safely and comfortably.
Keep Yourself Healthy
If you work in a job or regularly participate in activities that include repetitive movements, keep your body safe by avoiding RMDs. Allowing time for rest, regular exercise, and proper techniques are all keys to avoiding injury. See your doctor if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above.
