GREENGUARD Certified
Materia™ the Ecology Series represents the first and only ADA-compliant signage systems in the world to earn GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality® certification.A significant consideration in choosing to go in the ecology direction is, of course, the environment and by definition these materials and systems should pose no problem to air or ground water when recycled/reused or are disposed of in managed, aerated landfills. All components and processes used in this series must be inert; having no adverse reaction to our environment.
Products bearing the GREENGUARD certification mark contribute to the creation of a healthier indoor environment and have been independently verified to meet some of the most rigorous chemical emission standards in the world.
GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality certification® requires products to meet some of the world’s toughest chemical emission standards. GREENGUARD Children & SchoolsSM Certification requires those products to meet additional criteria to account for the unique health sensitivities of children.
