Recycled Content – CraftMaster molded door designs contain a minimum of 70% pre-consumer recycled wood content. This is certified by Scientific Certification Systems, certificate number SCS-MC-01801. Hollow core CraftMaster Green Doors contain a minimum of 56% pre-consumer recycled wood content and solid core CraftMaster Green Doors contain a minimum of 70% pre-consumer recycled wood content.

 

No Added Urea Formaldehyde – CraftMaster molded door designs have no added urea formaldehyde. This is certified by Scientific Certification Systems, certificate number SCS-MC-01802.

 

CARB ATCM – CraftMaster molded door designs (facings) comply with the CARB ATCM 93120 Phase 2 formaldehyde emission limits for composite wood as certified by the Composite Panel Association (CPA), a third party certifier (TPC-1). CraftMaster molded door designs have demonstrated formaldehyde emissions equivalent to background levels found in the environment.
