Although many customers choose Greenworks Cabinetry simply for the beauty of our materials or the enduring quality of our craftsmanship, our products deliver tangible environmental and health benefits.
Let’s start with the health benefits. Our homes, offices and schools are filled with products and finishes that actually pollute the indoor air and pose a health risk to building occupants.
Conventional cabinetry and furniture products are notorious for containing potentially dangerous amounts of harmful chemicals, including urea-formaldehyde adhesives and volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Over the life of the products, these chemicals typically “off-gas,” or escape into the indoor atmosphere, where they linger and may be inhaled by unsuspecting occupants. Adverse reactions to these pollutants range from mild irritation to permanent damage to the lungs and other organs. In extreme cases, indoor air pollutants may even cause cancer and death. When so much is at stake, why take a risk with conventional products? Instead, choose Greenworks and rest assured that our products are manufactured with the safest materials and finishes available on the market today. From our no added urea-formaldehyde plywood, to our no and low VOC stains and finishes, Greenworks’ cabinetry and millwork products will help you breathe a little easier. Greenworks is especially recommended around small children, who are more susceptible to indoor air pollutants than adults, and for individuals with chemical sensitivities.
Our products will protect more than just your health and well-being however. Indeed, our products are crafted from the most environmentally sustainable materials available, thereby safeguarding forest resources for generations to come.
Unfortunately, our society’s insatiable appetite for forest products has resulted in rampant deforestation throughout much of the world. With consequences ranging from habitat destruction and species loss to exacerbating the effects of climate change, deforestation poses a threat to us all. In response to this threat, Greenworks only uses rapidly renewable materials, like bamboo and lyptus, and wood that comes from forests which are responsibly managed and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. By selecting Greenworks for your cabinetry and millwork needs, you can do your share to stop deforestation and preserve forest resources for future generations.
