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.
