Teragren specifications protect the environment around the world and in your home. The durable factory finish on our flooring is water-based and solvent-free. Teragren's proprietary manufacturing adhesive emits less formaldehyde than allowed by U.S. OSHA, European E0, CARB Phase 1 and CARB Phase 2, and Japanese JIS/JAS emissions standards. As a company, they are moving swiftly toward exclusive use of adhesives that comply with LEED IEQ Credit 4.4 in all their products.
Positioned to do things right
As a manufacturer, not simply an importer, they control the production process from harvest to distribution. For 10 years, they have partnered with a single factory group in China that shares a commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, safety and sustainable business practices, including fair wages and safe working conditions. Their factories are ISO 9001:2000 and 14001-certified and the production process includes 11 quality-control inspection stations as well as spot checks by a quality control engineer.
Teragren is a member of Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). They follow the principles of The Natural Step program that focuses on applying basic concepts of sustainability. Every effort is made to reduce, reuse and recycle what we can. For they sell unused portions of each bamboo culm to manufacturers to make other bamboo products and use shavings from their own milling process as fuel in other parts of their factories.
Measuring our environmental footprint
A core component of the Teragren mission is to measure their environmental footprint and work toward mitigating—and ultimately neutralizing—its environmental impact. This arduous process has been completed at their Bainbridge Island office, which is now carbon neutral, and is underway at their factories in China.
