Ecofriendly Cabinetry is committed to advancing products that affect energy conservation, air quality, creating healthier homes through renewable solid wood materials with formaldehyde-free adhesives and waterborne finishes.
Indoor air pollutants are a silent threat, often two to five times higher than outdoor pollutant levels. There is growing concern about the harmful effects of formaldehyde vapors, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), and Heavy Metals. These harmful irritants are found in traditional solvent based finishing materials.
When formaldehyde is present in the air at or above 0.1 ppm, acute health effects can occur including watery eyes, burning sensations in the eyes, nose and throat, nausea, coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, skin rashes, or even more several ailments if neglected.
Partnerships with third-party Green accrediting organizations are critical. The Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) lends credibility and ensures accountability regarding a manufacturer's commitment to environmentally responsible forestry practices.
