Carbon Sequestration tax is coming in the future.
Do you know that Straw and other biomass from agriculture and/or horticulture will absorb about 1.78 kg CO2 per kg ?
Agriculture boards absorbs even more CO2 than most forests or trees this need many years to growing up.
At end of life the old ECO-Boards end products can refurbish or reused (the second hand upcoming sales markets ) as raw material for new ECO-Boards and thus the Carbon remains saved > is an example of cradle2cradle .
Traditionally wood chips boards are used for production of standard board material and are mixed with approximately more % urea glue (10% for MDF). This urea glue contains formaldehyde, a toxic gas that is emitted during the material’s lifetime. According to the Environmental Protection Agency; formaldehyde is a pungent gas that can cause cancer, nausea, asthma, irritations and severe allergic reactions. Using ECO-Boards resolve this problems however are mainly bonded max 97 % with the natural lignin from the cellulose fibers and use just small % resin containing NO Formaldehyde and produce NO emissions E0.
Traditional boards make environmentally safe recycling or processing for compost still not possible. almost impossible without the release of toxic gasses and other related issues.
At end of life the old ECO-Boards and leftovers can be reused as raw material for new ECO-Boards and this the recycling Carbon remains saved stored. For now is not Ecologic send 20,000 km back. So our goal start with this way back , if factory runs in EU we will start in Groningen area take back Cutting clean waste in 2024.
This is even better than the Cradle 2 Cradle cycles.
Eco-boards is a niche product in the market , it is good to take & create the right way now.Eco-boards is already ready for the future because life time is 75 years and can be circulair end products!
ECO-Boards are widely used in the construction industry in North America & China and are accredited by TECO as fully compliant for the industry. ECOBoards were benchmarked against all relevant international standards.
ECO-Boards can replace particleboard, chipboard, OSB or multiplex for a wide range of applications. ECO-Boards has already the collect in 2016 the first Bio based certificate also many years before we has DUBOKEUR from NIBE Research located 30 years + in the Netherlands and say in 2016 that Ecoboards is best choice for particleboard in environmental and healthy point of view, advised in sensitive areas where the end user has concern for their living environment, such as: schools, nurseries, hospitals, public buildings, laboratories, museums, nursing homes, etc… All Nibe these certificates are replace in 2022 in LCA & EDP supports by Nibe & Primum.
The excellent strength to light weight ratio make ECO-Boards an ideal choice for re-usable shipping crates. ECO-Boards material has been tested and approved by Trada for use in tea chests. Since it is formaldehyde free it is used for fresh food and vegetable transportation. ECOBoards are insect-free and insect-repellent so no fumigation is necessary for container transport.
