Before starting renovations, it's important to understand what environmentally friendly building materials are!

2025-11-04

In the past, when home renovations were being carried out, many consumers tended to focus on the color and price of the boards when purchasing them. If only these two points were considered, it was easy to buy problematic boards, which could cause health problems for family members after the renovation.

In recent years, news reports have highlighted numerous lifestyle problems caused by excessive formaldehyde levels, leading consumers to pay increasing attention to the environmental performance of building materials when making purchases.

What are truly environmentally friendly building materials?

ENVIRonMENTAL PROTECTION

Whether a board is environmentally friendly is directly related to the glue used in its production process.

For example, if the same type of board is produced using E1 grade glue, it is definitely more environmentally friendly than using E0 grade glue.

Secondly, the environmental friendliness of the board material is also related to its structure.

For example, both MDF and plywood use E1 grade glue, but plywood has better environmental performance than MDF.

Among Fuhan Wood Industry's board products are OSB boards using MDI glue and formaldehyde-free soybean cedar eco-boards using soybean glue. Both of these products have better environmental performance than ordinary boards, making them more suitable for home decoration.

Currently, the environmental protection levels of wood-based panels are:

E1≤0.124mg/m³;

E0≤0.050mg/m³;

ENF≤0.025mg/m³;

When decorating your home, it is recommended to choose board products with higher environmental protection standards. The environmental friendliness of board materials is constantly being upgraded, all to create a healthier home environment for people.

How to choose environmentally friendly building materials?

ENVIRonMENTAL PROTECTION

Currently, many vendors in the wood-based panel market are launching E0-grade and formaldehyde-free products to attract consumers.

However, E0 grade and formaldehyde-free grade boards have certain requirements for production equipment and processes, and many manufacturers have varying levels of equipment and capabilities and do not have the necessary production capacity.

Therefore, consumers should not blindly trust others when purchasing boards. They should check whether the product meets national standards and ask for a product testing report issued by a national authoritative institution to ensure that the purchased board is environmentally friendly.

As a state-owned enterprise focused on quality and a leading enterprise in the forestry industry, Fuhan Wood Industry is excellent in terms of both environmental protection and product attributes when it comes to green wood-based panels.
