Huntwood:
A Higher Standard of Green Manufacturing

Huntwood Industries' cabinets are manufactured with the utmost concern for the environment. Our product offering is structured to provide users with a wide selection of choices, enabling them to select the environmentally responsible cabinet configuration that best suits their needs. Through carefully managed materials purchased from certified vendors, to our state-of-the-art finishing process, Huntwood leads the way in eco-friendly cabinetry.

By meeting the requirements for air quality, resource management of products and processes, and environmental stewardship, Huntwood is a proud member of KCMA's distinguished ESP Environmental Stewardship Program.

The process used to finish our cabinets has received awards from SCAPCA for its ultra-low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. This state-of-the-art finishing system includes a material reclamation system, recycling surplus application materials and minimizing waste. Excess materials produced from the paint process are recycled, with 66 percent of the material being reused in future applications. This eco-friendly process significantly reduces environmental impact and is safer for employees than hazardous water-borne systems.

Our state-of-the-art 547,000 square-foot plant in Liberty Lake, Washington is the most advanced cabinet manufacturing facility in the world...the best of today's worldwide technology (robotics, high-precision machinery, and material processing), along with time-honored woodworking techniques.

Sustainable Materials

The primary materials used in the manufacture of the Huntwood product are engineered to have minimal impact upon the environment. Exterior components are produced using material selectively harvested from forests managed by companies committed to sustainable resources. Interior components use panel material compliant with EPP (Environmentally Preferable Products) CPA 2-06. Additionally, over 74 percent of the material used for interior components meets the EPP CPA 2-06 specification for recycled/recovered fiber content.

To reach an even more eco-friendly plateau, choose from our wide array of "naturals." Using no stains and only our extremely low VOC emission topcoat, this option also allows you to enjoy the enhanced beauty of natural wood grain.

Only the toughest materials and strongest construction methods are employed in the creation of each Huntwood cabinet. Every product is designed to stand up to decades of daily use and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Huntwood sets the new standard for durability, and in so doing, reduces the burden upon our natural resources.

Energy and Materials Conservation

Huntwood's manufacturing facility was designed with a variety of energy-saving features. The plant incorporates a sophisticated lighting technology that reduces the use of electric-powered lighting as natural daylight increases. The plant features a heating and cooling system that adjusts the temperature throughout the building, maintaining an adequate degree of comfort without wasting energy.

The waste produced in the milling of wood and panel components for the Huntwood product is conveyed to grinders and converted to sawdust. The sawdust is collected and stored in a managed location to be sold to paper mills, which will use it to generate energy for their operations. The careful management of waste product significantly reduces our contribution to landfills, thus enhancing the environment.
