Environmental Stability
Preserving our natural resources and environment are important at From the Forest. The raw materials used for the flooring products are sourced only from managed forests in the United States. and our wear resistant, ceramic top coats, and stains are water-based and UV cured to protect air quality and our adhesives meet the highest standards for air emissions. Our lumber is purchased from suppliers that have active reforestation programs, and share our environmental responsibility. Only a portion of mature trees are cut, leaving other mature trees for seeding purposes, and smaller trees for future logging.
We are committed to sustainable forest management and we encourage the use of wood as an environmentally acceptable and renewable material. We have not and will not purchase lumber from any supplier involved in improper practices.
CARB Compliance
The California Air Resource Board is a state agency that creates regulations governing everything from car exhaust to emissions from televisions. In the wood industry, both the agency and the specific regulations regarding formaldehyde emissions are commonly referred to by its acronym "CARB."
In California, it is illegal to exceed the formaldehyde emissions set forth by the state government. The CARB certificate number must be listed on the packaging. Flooring that is not marked as CARB Phase II Certified cannot legally be sold in California.
At this time, CARB air standard regulations do not apply to all 50 states. However, it is anticipated that a law will be passed in the United States in 2015.
From The Forest is committed to strict air quality and we strive to meet all indoor emissions criteria. We are dedicated to providing consumers with sustainable and environmentally friendly products. From The Forest is CARB Phase II Certified and has met the requirements to be a NAF (No Added Formaldehyde) Facility.
