Building and finishing materials constantly emit various chemicals into the air. Therefore, it is important to control the emissions. We believe that one’s health should not be affected by low quality building materials.

Good air quality indoors is essential for well-being

Birch plywood Riga Ply, bonded with Weather and Boil Proof resin adhesive, notably exceeds the criteria of M-1 classification, meaning that this product is of high quality and especially advisable for use in various interior solutions in private and public spaces. The emission level meets M-1 criteria, assuring healthy, unharmful indoor air, which is vital for one’s wellbeing. Architects and interior designers choose Riga Ply, because it allows one to create a space where functionality meets sustainability. Furthermore, various internationally recognised Green Building Rating Systems are increasing their emphasis on indoor air quality, encouraging developers to choose forward-thinking solutions.

Encouraging developers to choose greener materials

The M-1 classification supports the use and development of low-emitting building materials, setting limits for the emissions of formaldehyde, total volatile organic compounds, ammonia emissions, EU-LCI VOC-compound emissions and the emission of EU 1A and 1B class CMR-compounds. The classification encourages developers to give preference to materials that are most suitable for the residential and working environment.

The decisions that we make today, are shaping the reality of future generations. By developing sustainable solutions, we are doing our part for the planet and society – understanding and limiting pollutants within buildings and in the environment.
