Why didn't other companies take this path? Maybe they think you prefer price over quality. We think anything less than you expect isn't worth your money.

FreshPly also meets the requiements for the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program, and earns one point for EQ credit 4.4 for Low-Emitting Materials - Composite Wood. Beyond the point certification, however, lies the simple fact that FreshPly minimizes formaldehyde emissions and leads to fresher air. That's good for our customer, our employees, and our planet.

Forest stewardship is an important part of our job and a primary part of the Norbord commitment. We've always made our veneer-core plywwod with selected Canadian aspen logs from sustainably managed forest in Northern Ontario. Naturally, we offer FSC Certification on many of our products, including FreshPly. Moreover, FSC brings with it another LEED point under MR Credit 7 for Certified Wood.

In fact, FSC Certification is such a significant undertaking that achieving it speaks volumes for our existing practicies. Issues such as reforestation and biological diversity are considered, in addition to forest conservation activities and socal and civic responsibilitites. As a result, when you choose any Norbord product, including FreshPly and FreshPly FSC, you are choosing a very credible and trustworthy source.
