Marlite Environmental Policy: persistent progress for our good earth.

Marlite’s environmental policy is evident everywhere – in our partnerships, in our processes and in our products. Believing that the environmental effects of building should be everyone’s concern, Marlite is dedicated to using “low impact” materials. Most of our products qualify for LEED Credits to help ensure sustainability in interior design. And our operational practices are deployed with the environment at the center of our thinking. Specifically, Marlite is:

• FSC Certified
• SFI Certified
• Increasing the use of wall panel substrates with recycled and no formaldehyde-added content
• Converting to aqueous-based adhesives and top coats with low emitting volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).
• Using only HAPS compliant coatings.
• Recycling saw dust produced in the manufacturing process.
• Reclaiming all solvents used in manufacturing.
• Recycling cardboard, clear plastic and paper used in our offices
• Adhering to environmentally responsible harvesting of wood veneers by selecting only from areas where reforestation, endangered species protection and sustained yield management are strictly enforced. See Marlite Wood Veneer Responsibility.
• Using hybrid vehicles for company transportation.

We will continue to pursue ways to find new, more sustainable solutions for our company and customers because we must all do our part to protect our environment.
