Products made completely of laminate which are not pressed onto a wood product substrate (i.e. High Pressure Laminates and Compact Laminates) are not considered to be composite wood products and are therefore not subject to the Formaldehyde Minimisation and Sustainable Timber credits in Green Star rating tools.

Many products can also contribute to the achievement of credits for MAT-1: Workstations, MAT-3: Walls & Partitions, MAT-5: Tables and MAT-6: Storage. As further Green Star rating tools are developed, specific information on how Greenfirst products can contribute to achieving points will be available.

  no adhesives/sealants are used.

IEQ-12: Formaldehyde Minimisation
In Green Star Office Interiors:
1 point is awarded where it is demonstrated that all composite wood products used are low formaldehyde emission (E1 and E0).

MAT-7: Joinery
In Green Star Office Interiors:
1 point is awarded where it is demonstrated that the joinery used in the tenancy fit-out has a reduced environmental impact as determined by the Mat-7 Joinery Calculator (resource utilisation and reuseability).
