Greenlam Laminates is thrilled to announce a key milestone in our sustainability journey: being awarded the Sustainability Furniture Mark (SFM) by the Singapore Furniture Industries Council (SFIC). As one of the first recipients of this prestigious certification, we’re proud to be at the forefront of advancing eco-friendly, low-emission solutions in Singapore’s furniture industry.
What is the Sustainability Furniture Mark?
The SFM is a pioneering recognition in Singapore’s furniture industry, signaling products and brands that prioritize environmental responsibility, specifically through low formaldehyde emissions in furniture and furnishings. Formaldehyde, a chemical often found in resins used in wood-based products, can be a source of indoor air pollutants if used at high levels, impacting health over long-term exposure. This mark ensures that customers can make more informed, safer choices when selecting furniture for their homes or businesses.
Meeting a Growing Need for Safe and Sustainable Furnishings
With recent discussions in both the media and Singapore’s parliament about formaldehyde usage, the need for transparency in furniture manufacturing has never been greater. Greenlam’s focus on using low-emission materials and eco-friendly manufacturing processes aligns perfectly with these rising standards, ensuring that we continue to provide both innovative and responsible solutions.
Building Trust and Confidence
Achieving the SFM allows Greenlam to further assure consumers of our dedication to not only meeting but exceeding industry safety expectations. We understand the responsibility of creating products that are not only durable and aesthetically pleasing but also safe and sustainable for both our clients and the environment. Our SFM-certified laminates provide clients and consumers the added confidence that they are making a responsible choice for their spaces.
As sustainability becomes a core value in Singapore’s furniture industry, Greenlam Laminates is proud to be recognized at the forefront of this important movement.
