The Underscore Collection is a series of indoor/outdoor tables, benches, and modular lounge furniture that leverages the Enviro Framing Systems sustainable frame manufacturing processes. Aluminum extruded connectors and rails push together easily using the patented Enviro Framing process without the need for welding and grinding. This unique process is cleaner, safer, and eliminates noxious welding gasses that can harm the environment and workers.

The collections frames are manufactured from structural-grade aluminum with a high-degree of recycled material and are 100% recyclable at end-of-life. In a further step of closed loop manufacturing, all aluminum waste produced during manufacturing is recycled. Underscores table tops and seating surfaces are all produced using 100% post-consumer recycled plastics. The material and manufacturing waste is also recycled in a Closed Loop Certified process.

The materials also meet criteria for USGBC LEED requirements. The Enviro Framing Systems business structure allows for local manufacturing with manufacturing hubs around the globe. This manufacturing supply chain solution allows products to be produced as close to the final destination as possible, dramatically shrinking the products carbon footprint. Finished products can also ship unassembled and flat packed in biodegradable packaging.

All system components are manufactured locally, minimizing transport emissions, and reducing our carbon footprint. The Underscore Collections clean and simple aesthetics is inspired by the Enviro Framing Systems goal of creating products that are healthy and clean for workers, users, and our planet.
