Neil Kelly Cabinets Collection Earns Declare Label

Neil Kelly Cabinets is the first cabinet manufacturer to produce a Declare-labeled cabinet collection. Widely accepted to be the most advanced green-building standard in the world, the Declare-label lists the actual ingredients in each building product and ensures that manufacturers, like Neil Kelly Cabinets, source materials free of ?red list? chemicals and materials.

Neil Kelly Cabinet?s Naturally Northwest Collection is engineered to meet the Declare standards and demonstrates the company’?s long-standing commitment to using resources responsibly and reducing its carbon footprint on the environment. The cabinets optimize indoor air quality and healthful living by using:

• No formaldehyde PureBond panels
• Regional responsible solid wood and wood veneers
• No formaldehyde, low-VOC adhesives and finishes
• Certified woods available upon request

Cabinet dealers, builders, and consumers can use the Declare product database and label to find manufacturers that have declared their product ingredients, source and manufacturing locations. The Declare database provides a list of ?red-list-ready products? containing zero ingredients from the hazard list, such as PVC and added formaldehyde.

Cabinet dealers, green-minded builders and savvy health-conscious consumers can read the product ?nutrition label? and make an educated purchase decision.

Neil Kelly Cabinets joined The Oregon Natural Step Network in 1997 and became the first FSC-certified cabinet manufacturer. In 2002, the company became a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and manufactured LEED-compliant products. Most recently, Neil Kelly Cabinets reached another green milestone by making International Living Building Challenge-compliant products, which led to the natural step of earning the Declare label.
