Sustainability - The natural fiber used in Sisalwood comes from a variety of sustainable sources including invasive species, agricultural residues, and rapidly renewable plants such as grasses. We offer various sustainable substrate panels that are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
No Off-gassing - Our composite products are made from polymers containing no organic solvents or added formaldehyde. As such, Sisalwood does not off-gass unnatural levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) or formaldehyde into the indoor environment. Most of the core materials that we offer as a substrate for Sisalwood composites also contain no added formaldehyde (NAF) or VOC’s.
Local Sourcing - We strive to source the majority of our products locally. While our fiber is sourced and hand assembled around the world, the plywood and MDF cores used in Sisalwood are sourced locally in the Pacific Northwest. This core material represents the majority of the final product by weight and thus reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
Social Mission - Sisalwood is committed to ensuring that the people who assemble our materials are fairly compensated and empowered. We work only with partners in Kenya, Indonesia, and India that share our social ethic. As we grow as a company, we are committed to ensuring that our partners grow with us.
