Framerica Facility Certified Green


Framerica's purpose built, New York- based facility has been certified as an Environmentally Preferable Product Downstream Licensed Facility (EPP Downstream) by the Composite Panel Association (CPA). The program is designed to provide retailers, distributors, designers, specifiers, OEMs, and consumers an easy way to identify environmentally responsible products.

Framerica has pledged to continue using its Bonanza Wood substrate from sources that are CPA EPP certified. It is the most widely specified environmental certification program for composite wood panels in North America. Framerica's entire manufacturing process has been designed to curtail any negative impact on the environment, which led to the company's request for certification.

Among it's actions, Framerica circulates its sawdust through a state of the art furnace system, using the energy in processing and to heat its facility, The most advanced fixtures and power systems also reduce impacts. Local initiatives include recycling all material possible. Company officials say that they will continue all "earth friendly" policies as a way of providing customers with quality products that help the environment.
