Portland Closet Company offers a new line of white melamine products made from low-formaldehyde emission particleboard. FreeForm particleboard from Collins Pine in Klamath Falls, Oregon is the finest green board available. If you or a family member is physically sensitive to formaldehyde off-gassing or if you are conscientiously sensitive to formaldehyde’s impact on the environment, you might consider this melamine alternative.
Here are Some Important Things to Know:
- FreeForm Particleboard is FSC certified. In fact the Collins Company was the first privately-owned forest products company in the United States to be independently certified under the strict criteria of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
- FreeForm Particleboard has no added urea-formaldehyde resins
- FreeForm is manufactured from 100% post-industrial waste, which reduces pressure on virgin timber.
- Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
For a comprehensive explanation of LEED certification and a summary of how using Portland Closet Company products made with FreeForm particleboard can contribute toward or comply with LEED credit requirements, please see: http://www.collinswood.com/WoodProducts/FreeFormLEED.html - For an introduction to the effects of formaldehyde on indoor air quality please visit the United States Environmental Protection Agency site at: http://www.epa.gov/iag/formalde.html
