Atlanta — In response to increased focus on improved indoor air quality, GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) has added the Formaldehyde Emission Reduction Technology category to its certification programs. Unlike other GEI certification programs, this category certifies a manufacturers’ process/technology, rather than a product.  Georgia-Pacific Chemicals, LLC, is the first company in this category, with its Caire Technology attaining GREENGUARD Children and Schools certification. To achieve this certification, Caire Technology met the required standard of reducing formaldehyde levels by 80 percent or more from a product during the manufacturing process. The finished product also met the overall GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality certified emissions criteria.
