How Is It Green?
LP® FlameBlock® & The Environment
Manufacturing
- LP FlameBlock is made from wood – a renewable, natural resource.
- Our wood procurement process targets small, fast growing trees that can be replenished more quickly than older, larger trees.
- LP uses SFI® certified forest management and fiber sourcing systems to help ensure that our wood comes from well-managed forests.
- The entire log is used in our manufacturing process. All wood waste is repurposed or used to help fuel our mills.
- We only use low-emitting, safe resins in the manufacture of LP FlameBlock and do not add any urea formaldehyde.
- LP FlameBlock features a non-combustible coating of magnesium oxide that is non-toxic and landfill safe.
