Environmental Certifications
LUMIN® plywood panels meet all international quality and environmental standards.
We comply fully with the terms of the Lacey Act (2008) which refers to historic legislation brought in by the United States in May 2008 in the fight against illegal logging and trade. The act established the first ban on illegally sourced wood products, placing repsonbility on the supply chain. Non-compliance is a crime.
We operate in accordance with EUTR (2013), a policy enforced by The European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) on 3 March 2013 which made it a criminal offense to place illegally produced timber and timber products on the EU market. All organizations affected by EUTR must adopt practices to ensure that the timber and timber products they trade and supply are at least legal.
LUMIN complies with all CARB regulations
Effective since January 1, 2009, when the California Air Resources Board (CARB) began regulating formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products (particle board, MDF, and hardwood plywood) that are sold or used in finished products for sale in the state of California.
The Airborne Toxics Control Measure (ATCM) is known today as the “CARB rule.” All products, including resins used in the manufacture of composite wood products must comply with CARB regulations.
Lumin plywood is CARB-exempt as it meets the US Department of Commerce's Voluntary Product Standard PS1 Structural Plywood.
