Global Innovator's Award (GIA)
Green Standards: Sustainable Decommission Solution for Corporate FF&E - North America
Inspired by the circular economy, Green Standards was founded in 2009 to solve the growing problem of office furniture waste. The organization has developed an industry-leading, managed program of office furniture donation, resale, and recycling that to date has diverted more than 70,000 tons of workplace furniture and equipment from landfill (a 98.6% diversion rate) and generated over $30 million of in-kind donations to more than 5,000 non-profits and communities across North America.
Pepper Construction: Pepper Construction's Net-Zero Jobsite Construction Trailer
With construction, an untapped resource in combating carbon emissions, the Net-Zero Jobsite Trailer leverages technology to make the project management process paperless while providing a healthy, high-performing environment for its occupants that runs on renewable energy resources. Essentially a tiny building, the trailer works holistically as one system to produce as much energy as it uses.
