In an era where rampant pollution is leading to several undesirable consequences such as global warming, choosing products that are more sustainable and eco-friendly is a step in the right direction. HPL sheets that are manufactured by environment conscious companies are not only easy on the environment, but are also safer to use indoors due to their low emission quotient. While you can easily find quality HPL sheets in the market, not all manufacturers go the extra mile to ensure adherence to environment-friendly practices. To help you make an informed decision and choose high pressure laminate sheets from manufacturers following sustainable practices, we’ve put together a simple guide enlisting four green credentials to look for. Read on.
GREENGUARD certification is awarded to products that pass rigorous quality checks and a number of emission standards. When you buy HPL sheets from manufacturers with a GREENGUARD certification, you can stay assured that there wouldn’t be any risk of increased indoor air pollution or exposure to toxic emissions. Some manufacturers also go the extra mile and qualify for the GREENGUARD GOLD certification as well.
The Forest Stewardship Council certifies products that are manufactured through responsible forestry methods. While total independence from forest-based products during manufacturing may not be possible, responsible use can mitigate a number of downsides of using such products. When you buy products that come with an FSC certification, you can be fully assured that their making did not involve the destruction of natural forest cover.

The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) certifies commercial and residential properties depending on their utilization of natural resources. Manufacturers of high pressure laminate sheets with an IGBC certification better utilize resources for improved energy and water efficiency. IGBC certified manufacturing units are known to be more productive while being environment-friendly as well.
Several commonly used surfacing solutions end up emitting harmful chemical vapours, which doesn’t make them an ideal solution for both commercial and residential spaces alike.
