Nevamar Products Now Available With Full FSC Certification
SHELTON, Conn., April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nevamar® Decorative Surfaces' products are now available with full Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification upon request at no extra cost. Nevamar customers now have the capability of producing certified products from the full complement of Nevamar laminates without the need for a minor component derogation.
Full FSC certification is another measure of Nevamar's high environmental standards. As the company grows, this commitment becomes even more important.
"Sustainability and environmental standards are ingrained in our company culture," said Robert Muller, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Panolam Industries, Nevamar's parent company. "We build them into our entire value chain, and we want to make it easier for customers to do that, too."
All Nevamar HPL products also meet the low-emission standards certified by GREENGUARD, and because Nevamar formulates its own resins, the company can ensure that its manufacturing processes are environmentally friendly. Nevamar uses recycled or renewable resources to help preserve forests and promote a healthier environment.
Nevamar's FSC certificate registration code number is SW SW-COC-004037/SW-CW-004037.
FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests certification through the SmartWood program of the Rainforest Alliance, the world's premier certifier of non-timber forest products.
The Rainforest Alliance pioneered forestry certification on a global scale in 1989 with the launch of its SmartWood program and was one of the founders of the FSC. The FSC's ongoing monitoring, evaluation and research are designed to give meaning to and ensure the success of its certification.
