Additional Comments
Raw materials: recycled - post consumer - newsprint
Raw materials: the manufacturing process has won some of the early environmental awards
Installation/Application: easy to install as they come in industry standard 4x8 size, easy to cut and screw in place, easy to sand joints to blend the seams.
Quality/Durability: the newsprint provides a soft and mottled appearance and feel, you can sand for a suede like finish (they also come pre-sanded), clear seal or pigment. easy to replace and can be composted!
Toxicity: ZERO emissions
Resource Recovery: 100% reclaimed post consumer newsprint
Corporate Policies: check out their story on their web site - true unsung heroes
First Costs/Price: given that the material itself is the finish as well as panel, it is a reasonable cost.
Lifecycle Costs: i haven't seen an actual LCA, but i imagine this product has a good environmental footprint if you think of cost as being economy and environment.
