The Dangers of Wood-Based Panel Boards as a Global Health and Environmental Concern
Wood-based panel boards often contain urea formaldehyde, a substance classified as a human carcinogen by the World Health Organization. With deforestation rates reaching four million hectares per year—twice the global average—this poses significant risks to both human health and environmental sustainability.

Our innovative solution offers sustainably sourced engineered wood made from coconut husks, providing the global market with a formaldehyde-free, bio-based alternative that prioritizes the health of both people and the planet. This eco-friendly option not only reduces reliance on harmful wood-based panel boards but also promotes sustainable practices in the wood industry.
