Richlite Northwest is a paper-based composite material, made with pulp derived from certified, managed forests in North America. It is dense, durable, and heat resistant to 350F. Northwest can be used in interior kitchen and bath, counter-tops, retail, and restaurant surfaces. It is also popular for wall caps and stair treads.
RESOURCES
Richlite Northwest is made from 50-100% recycled content and FSC certified paper pulp from rapidly renewable eucalyptus trees.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Richlite uses a methanol/ethanol-based binder in its resin system because it reduces energy use during manufacturing. During production, Richlite’s Waste-to-Energy system captures and recycles energy in the process. Use of a vertical drying tower reduces fuel consumption by 83%. Richlite products are manufactured in Tacoma and distributed in Brooklyn.
HUMAN HEALTH
Richlite contains no urea formaldehyde. 99.9% of VOC’s are destroyed in production.
