Kirei & Leed – Build Green
Kirei products are manufactured with rapidly renewable and recycled content, as well as low- or no-added-urea-formaldehyde adhesives, and can help projects gain LEED™ Green Building credit in the following areas:

MR 4.1/4.2 Recycled Content
    Minimum 90% post-industrial recycled material: Sorghum Straw
MR 6 Rapidly Renewable Materials
    Manufactured with rapidly renewable raw material: Sorghum straw grown in yearly harvest cycle. Minimum 90% rapidly renewable material in Kirei Board
EQ 4.4 Low-Emitting Materials: Composite Wood
    No added urea formaldehyde
     

Environmental Benefits
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.

Reduced Waste
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.

Zero VOC
In addition, Kirei Board is made using a non-toxic adhesive that does not emit toxic formaldehyde.

Kirei Board Adhesive
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.

Fabrication Guidelines
Kirei Board is machinable using standard fabricating techniques applicable for wood-based products.
