"What if you could build your furniture, cabinetry or millwork products out of materials made from naturally captured carbon? And what if that carbon was enough to offset all the carbon released in the production and application of these materials?"

If you work with composite wood panels you’re already there. The chemical makeup of wood is 50% naturally captured carbon. Every sheet of particleboard is sequestering at least 40 lbs. of carbon; MDF, 43 lbs. This is more carbon than is released in the harvest, production and use of this valuable wood fiber!

IKEA and a growing list of other global brands refer to this as being "Climate Positive," and are sharing their story with the world. You should be sharing your Climate Positive story as well.

With new Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting rules coming down from the SEC, the use of Climate Positive materials gives you – and your customers – a carbon sequestration story that no other industry can tell.

Composite wood panels, and any treatment, surface or hardware that makes these panels more durable, more usable, and more marketable adds to the Climate Positive story. The companies in this special section are leading a movement to share this great news with designers and consumers.
