Along with this Declare label, HempWood provides a range of health and sustainability certifications for HempWood Organic Flooring, including a Health Product Declaration (HPD), an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), and USDA Certified Biobased Product status.
“We are proud to announce our Declare label for HempWood Organic Flooring,” said Greg Wilson, Founder and CEO of HempWood. “HempWood is the first of its kind as a hemp and soy-based product, and this label helps emphasize its ability to reduce embodied carbon and improve human health in the built environment.”
