It is pointed out that our products are an important source of carbon retention, contributing to the mitigation of climate change. The wood that we use in our products capture tonnes of CO2 every year, helping diminish the greenhouse effect. The supply and use of wood produced near the plant is prioritised to avoid long delivery routes, thus benefiting the environment. Valchromat panels with FSC® or PEFC™ certification are available upon request. Low Formaldehyde Emissions In striving for the continuous improvement of Valchromat panels, we test solutions to increasingly lower formaldehyde emissions, which are harmful to people and the environment. Today, all Valchromat panels are Formaldehyde Class E1, in accordance with the European regulations, EN 13986:2004+A1:2015 standard, where formaldehyde emissions are limited to 8 mg/100g (EN 120) equivalent to 0.1 ppm. Valchromat CARB panels comply with the thresholds outlined in the CARB 2 Certification, in line with the provisions of the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) TSCA Title VI which limits formaldehyde emissions to 0.11 ppm (ASTM E1333-14). Valchromat E05 panels comply with the German ChemVerbotsV laws which limit formaldehyde emissions to 0.05 ppm, (EN 717-1). Organic Dyes Valchromat is produced only with organic dyes, which are neither toxic nor polluting. Self-sufficiency on thermal energy The plant generates enough biomass to sustain its thermal energy requirements, without burning any fossil fuels. Manufacturing without waste Valchromat’s production is aimed at reducing, or even eliminating, environmental impact. All waste and bark resulting from the process is re-used to fuel the steam boiler. Recycling Valbopan contributes to the circular economy in the wood sector, through the energy recovery of wood waste.
