The Three R's of Sustainability (Laminate Product)

Reusable

As with all Goelst casework, the laminate product provides years of reusability.  Inherent in its design, our laminate product is built to be reconfigured, reorganized and reused countless times without waste.

Repairable

In today's hectic 24/7 healthcare environment, repairs are part of life.  Rolling carts scratch and damage cabinets or nurse stations.  Patients abuse their bedside cabinets. In the healthcare environment, anything can happen.  Once again, the inherent design of Goelst laminate cabinets allows for easy repairs.  All components that make up our laminate cabinets can be removed and replaced with new components.  This is the best defense against creating landfill waste.  Our ten-year warranty including on-site service ensures the extended life-cycle and reusability of our product.

Recyclable

Our laminate cabinets that utilize the optional Goelst Green Core material achieve the best recyclability rating available for wood based product.  By utilizing an agrifiber substrate, we can produce a cabinet with low VOC emissions.  The Green Core uses annually renewable wheat straw fiber, historically an agricultural discard.

Key Points

• Our agrifiber substrate is a machinable fiberboard made of annually renewable wheat straw.
• Historically an agricultural discard, our wheat straw core is now an excellent option for an environmentally friendly laminate cabinet.
• Low in VOC and formaldehyde off-gasing, our agrifiber substrate does not exceed levels that are inherent in the environment.
• Blending wheat straw with a high performance resin keeps its strength up to top industry standards.
• Our agrifiber substrate is manufactured using a formaldehyde-free polyurethane resin.
