Sustainable Products

Neocase™ designs, engineers, manufactures, stores, and ships its products in an environmentally-friendly manner. Our company has been and is currently working to reduce negative impacts on the environment. Waste reduction is a priority within our organization.

Specific examples include:

  • Printed decorative papers on our products use 100% water-based inks.
  • Heavy metals are eliminated from the ink pigments in our raw materials.
  • Through lamination and edgebanding, Neocase™ reduces core offgas to less than 1 ppm.
  • Installation hardware is powder-coated (vs. plated) on many of our
    component parts.
  • Our packaging products consist of 35% recycled material.
  • All of our USA particleboard suppliers are “Green Cross Certified,” meaning their materials are 100% recycled and recovered from wood used previously in manufacturing board.
  • Our imported particleboard supplier is a member of the Composite Panel Association and supplies products that conform to the ANSI A208.1 formaldehyde and HUD Standards.

Neocase™ believes that concern about and cooperation with united environmental efforts will enhance the quality of life for us all.
