 Virco has made significant efforts to restrict chemical emissions from its products, becoming the first classroom manufacturers to have their product lines to meet GREENGUARD indoor air quality certification for children and schools.By 2005, hundreds of the companies products were indoor air quality certified with these products accounting for 75% of the company's sales volume.With a desire to become largely waste-free, Virco also completed a transition from wet paint lines to powder by 2002.
