green statement

KCMA - Environmental Stewardship Program Management has been pursuing environmentally, ecologically friendly products, and manufacturing practices long before they have been socially fashionable. Having been involved in agriculture, we realize just how important it is to conserve our natural resources so that they will be available to provide a way of life for the next generation. Careful research of available materials and manufacturing methods is paramount to maintaining a green manufacturing lifestyle. We are participating members of the KCMA and are ESP (“Green”) certified by that association.  

Christiana Cabinetry is also CARB 93120 - Phase 2 compliant for formaldehyde. Although Phase 1 is currently the only CARB requirement in place, we believe it is imperative to offer the safest product to our clients all the time. Phase 2 compliance allows us to exceed all of CARB's current hazardous emission regulations for the state of California. At less than .05 ppm emissions, you can be sure you're getting the safest product possible for your home.
