Kirei Board reduces forest clear-cutting, air pollution and
landfill use. The sorghum stalks used in the manufacture
of Kirei Board are a rapidly renewable resource left after
the edible portion of the plant is harvested.
Until now, these stalks have been discarded or burned,
adding to landfill waste and pollution. Kirei Board helps
reduce this waste and ease deforestation by substituting
for wood.
In addition, Kirei Board is made using a non-toxic adhesive
that does not emit toxic formaldehyde.
KIREI board is manufactured using KR Bond, a water-based
polymer-isocyanate adhesive. Formaldehyde-free KR Bond
does not contribute harmful Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs) to the indoor atmosphere. Testing according to
Japanese Government standard JIS A 6922-2003 resulted
in 0.0 mg/L formaldehyde emission.
Kirei Board is machinable using standard fabricating techniques applicable for wood-based products.
