This newsletter will not be a regular occurance, but instead is providing an update on a few of the environmental regulations affecting your industry as well as the progress Indiana wood furniture manufacturers have made in reducing emissions.
IDEM's new electronic Permit Guide can be a useful tool to identify environmental permits and certifications necessary to stay in compliance with the law.
For those sources who must comply with the NESHAP, semiannual compliance status reports must be submitted to both IDEM and EPA Region V by January 30 and July 30 of each year.

-Homeowner (California) "The SmartFurniture bookcases I purchased are just possibly the best thing I have ever bought for my home.
-Business owner (California) "We really love the Smart Furniture.
The website was perfect, easy to understand, and it was so easy to design my own, and your customer service has been great.
Set up was as simple as you said and we quickly had the children's department ready for books
Smart Furniture is so versatile that some alterations fit as if we'd originally planned it that way

As its name suggests, Bare Bones Furniture in Glens Falls, New York, offers its customers home furnishings at discount prices.
At the top of their renovations list was replacing the lighting on the showroom's first floor.
The original unshielded T-12 cool white lamps in the Bare Bones Furniture showroom made colors seem unnatural, giving the merchandise a harsh, cool look.
The new T-8 fluorescent lamps used with these fixtures last nearly twice as long as the old lamps (20,000 hours vs. 12,000 hours), make the colors of the furniture appear more natural, and improve energy efficiency, resulting in lower utility bills.
recycle
other everyday products is now standard practice in homes and offices across America.
But many consumers are unaware that office furniture is also a recyclable product.
Today, remanufacturing and refurbishing diverts worn office furniture out of the solid waste stream and back into the consumer market by restoring it to "like new" condition.
The EPA estimates that businesses discard approximately 3 million tons of furniture each year, incurring disposal costs of almost $100 million.
The parts are made mostly of raw materials (natural resources) that have not been used before, although some manufacturers' components may have recycled content.
Are they members of their industry trade association, the Office Furniture Recyclers Forum?

Sligh Furniture is in the business of building better furniture.
In his search for an automated faxing software package for MANMAN, Albertie came across one company time and time again: STR Software.
"One of the account managers sent me a return on investment worksheet to compute how much money we would save.
I also contacted some references to get first-hand knowledge on how well the company's AventX product suite worked in a MANMAN environment like ours," remarks Albertie.
"In the first year, we anticipate a savings of over $50,000 in administrative costs from automating and implementing purchase orders, acknowledgements, invoices and statements," confirms Albertie.
"After the first year, those savings increase significantly to over $69,000 annually."

Metal furniture generally consists of metal legs or frame and nylon webbing or upholstery of some type.
Metal furniture is made from either aluminum or steel (iron), with the specific type of metal difficult to identify once the finish coat is applied.
Steel is made of a strong, tough metal consisting of iron alloyed with various small percentages of carbon and other metals.
Arc welding is where electricity is conducted through an electrode, which is applied to the two pieces of metal that are to be joined.
The brass melts and joins the two pieces of metal that are being welded.

What kind of wood you choose and how you protect it can make a big difference in how long the wood lasts.
Two conditions influence the service life of outdoor wood: weathering and decay.
Finishes differ in their ability to protect wood from the sun. Paints can block sunlight completely, but they can trap moisture and encourage decay.
The durability of any wood decreases as rain or other sources of moisture remove the natural preservatives.
The best way to protect wood furniture or artwork (e.g., wood carvings) from weathering is to cover it with a roof.
Finishes with mildewcides prevent the growth of mildew, the primary cause of graying of exterior wood.

Despite a tremendous amount of history, expertise, and enthusiasm, the University of Michigan's Upholstery Shop & Furniture Repair had been suffering from a steadily shrinking client base and increasing periods of downtime over an extended period of time.
As part of the process of developing a specific marketing plan, upholsterer Phil Reed realized during his Customer Service Marketing coursework at the Plant Academy that the Upholstery Shop's methods of communicating with customers were inadequate.
A new culture of increased information and enhanced communication was essential for the mission's objectives to be readily and effectively achieved --and this was not a result likely to be arrived at overnight.
The primary value of documenting best practices includes taking advantage of opportunities to examine internal processes and to implement quality improvements.
