- Over 70 percent of furniture in Korea is made with materials of grade E2, whereas in Japan products of grade E2 and even of grade E1 are banned. To encourage the use of materials that emit zero formaldehyde, Dongwha will continue to hold environmental campaigns and submit policy suggestions.
- Dongwha is strongly committed to producing laminate flooring products of grade Super EO, which emit nearly zero levels of formaldehyde, as well as eco-friendly wood-frame houses that emit only 0.3 percent of carbon dioxide emitted by steel materials, and formaldehyde-zero boards that will be unveiled soon.
- Dongwha Enterprise’s wood recycling efforts help replace wood imports (11.6 billion won a year), save waste wood incineration costs (7.5 billion won a year), prevent environmental damage caused by burying waste wood, and minimize carbon dioxide emitted by burning wood. The total amount of costs saved annually exceeds 200 billion won.
- Environmental Labeling Campaign in Cooperation with Furniture Makers
Dongwha has launched an environmental labeling campaign in a joint effort with the renowned furniture makers Enex, Iloom, Wooami and others to encourage the use of eco-friendly materials. - The environmental labeling system marks the environmental friendliness of furniture, the names of materials manufacturers and the place of origin. Consumers can check the quality of furniture on the “Eco-Materials Mark” attached to furniture and the “Dongwha Eco-Mark” attached to furniture materials.
