Philosophy EVO
Our philosophy is based on the Evolution concept, meaning a progressive development of sustainable and balanced technological solutions.
Indispensable values such as social and environmental sustainability and health protection guide our business operations:
- We use wood from sustainably managed forests
- We select recyclable and eco-friendly materials
- We design zero-impact products
- We avoid waste and use clean and renewable energy sources
Catas has analyzed our marine plywood made with the new glue, detecting formaldehyde emissions levels of 0.1 mg/m2-h*, far below the limit values fixed for Class E1.
Leveraging our partnership with a glue leader, we have adopted a safe adhesive offering a healthier product with emissions far below the severe limits of Class E1.
As a result, we can provide marine plywood with “zero emission” gluing, offering visual and functional performance identical to traditional plywood.
Same emissions as natural wood
Catas has analyzed our marine plywood made with the new glue, detecting formaldehyde emissions levels of 0.1 mg/m2-h*, far below the limit values fixed for Class E1. Our new panels comply with the limit values of the so-called “Class E0” or “Super E0", ensuring the same formaldehyde emissions as non-treated natural wood.
* Result obtained with test report No. 188766/1 dated 15/01/2015 - the emission value could vary while remaining below the threshold provided by the standards.
The E0 and Super E0 classes are not certified standards, but represent an industrial classification.
