Our responsibility
Care for people.
Respect for nature.
The materials we choose shape the spaces we share. Our approach brings together documented performance, informed choices and a long-term commitment to the natural world.

Confidence starts
with clear information.
Clear test information helps you choose materials for the spaces you use every day.
Our published reports record low formaldehyde emissions for the tested board samples. We share those results alongside their methods and scope, helping designers and customers make informed decisions.
Explore our materialsAttention to indoor materials
We put documented emissions at the centre of material selection for the places where people live and work.
Independent evidence
Laboratory reports make the test method, sample identity and measured result available for review.
A considered specification
The right choice starts with the panel core, thickness, application and documentation for your particular project.

Formaldehyde emission · mg/m³
Three tested samples against the reference classes.
- ENF ≤ 0.025
- E0 ≤ 0.050
- E1 ≤ 0.124
Reference classes ENF, E0 and E1 as defined in GB/T 39600-2021 and GB 18580-2017, shown for orientation only. Where a report states a result below its detection limit, the bar shows that limit — the true value is lower.

Results apply to the submitted samples under the stated test conditions, not every item in the collection. A result below the detection limit does not mean zero emissions. These are sample test reports, not a company-wide product certification.
Chemical screening
A closer look
at substances of concern.
The TÜV SÜD report also screens the 18 mm bamboo chipboard sample for the 253 substances of very high concern listed in its Appendix I. All are reported as N.D., below the stated method detection limit.
One dot per listed substance · all 253 reported N.D.
Review the screening and substance list- Substances listed in the report
- 253
- Detected above the limit

- Method detection limit

Screening scope: report TC.26.02.000814-R1, issued 10 March 2026, page 11 and Appendix I. The result covers the listed substances and sample; it is not a claim that all chemicals are absent or that every product meets the latest REACH requirements.
Forests & communities
A future that
keeps growing.
We support tree planting and land restoration through partnerships with nonprofit organisations.
We see an opportunity to connect our relationship with wood to projects that care for ecosystems and the people who depend on them. Thoughtful collaboration starts with the right partner, a defined project and transparent reporting.
Understand the local need. Support appropriate planting and restoration. Share project progress as programmes are carried out.
Our tree-planting partners
