For many years Downsview Kitchens has strived to run an environmentally conscious business by maintaining the right balance between the highest quality product and minimizing any negative impact to the environment during the manufacturing process.
Our facilities are outfitted with the best equipment and latest technologies to create the cleanest and most beneficial working environment for our employees, with minimal impact to the surrounding area. Our company has been certified as an EPP (Environmentally Preferable Product) licensed facility by the Composite Panel Association of North America. The EPP program, the only environmental certification program that has achieved ANSI (American National Standards Institute) accreditation, certifies that the composite panels used in the manufacturing process are made with 100% recycled or recovered wood fibers.
The EPP certification provides the consumer with the assurance that the products they are purchasing are manufactured to the highest environmental and quality standards. The EPP logo certifies that our products are environmentally friendly and that Downsview Kitchens is an environmentally responsible company.
All the cabinet components used in the construction of our box 600 & 800 product lines are made with hardwood plywood manufactured with a formaldehyde-free resin derived from soy. This proprietary technology, known as PureBond, is a non-toxic bonding agent that is considered to be the leading choice in the industry.
Highly recommended by EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), PureBond panel products can also contribute to points under the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building rating system. It is also certified to meet the exacting Phase 2 formaldehyde emission limits of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulation.
