Choose Green Report: Particleboard and Medium-Density Fiberboard

October 2001

Most particleboard and medium-density fiberboard -- used in doors, furniture, and cabinets, among other products -- is made with formaldehyde-based resins that are probable human carcinogens. In this report, Green Seal recommends eight wallboards that are not only formaldehyde-free but also made from agricultural waste, post-consumer waste fiber, or recovered wood. Also find information on the environmentally preferable resins and adhesives that these products contain.
