​What Kind Of Furniture Is Environmentally Friendly Furniture?

Environmentally friendly furniture has become a popular trend. More and more furniture companies are labeling their furniture as environmentally friendly furniture, but what kind of furniture is environmentally friendly furniture? Let’s take a look!

E2 level is in line with domestic standards, and the formaldehyde content is 10-30 mg/100 g;

E1 level is in line with European standards, and the formaldehyde content is less than or equal to 9 mg/100 g;

E0 level is the world's top standard for environmental protection, and the formaldehyde content is less than or equal to 3 mg/100 g.

Position 1: No chemical pollution

Now when it comes to pollution in home improvement and furniture, people may first think of the problem of excessive formaldehyde. Indeed, formaldehyde is the most susceptible to residual harmful substances in wood and processing materials, which can directly affect human health; but in addition to formaldehyde, other harmful substances that may exist include benzene and radon. These substances may exist in all parts of the kitchen cabinet. In addition to the panels, there are cabinet panels and glue, etc., which need to be processed to ensure that the content of harmful substances does not exceed the standard to meet the requirements of environmental protection. Therefore, one formaldehyde content cannot be used to explain everything.

Orientation 2: No physical damage

Chemical pollution may be invisible to the naked eye, so physical damage is actually easier to distinguish and avoid. For example, products with inferior materials and workmanship may have burrs, sharp corners, quick mouths, etc. in the details. These parts that have not been properly processed can easily cause harm to the body inadvertently. In addition, since food is processed directly on the kitchen cabinet, if the quality is inferior, impurities and debris are eaten by mistake, which is also harmful to health.

In addition, kitchen cabinets may also have noise and light pollution. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to use high-quality hardware, and reasonable selection of panels and countertops to avoid safety hazards caused by unqualified accessories.

Direction 3: Degradation and recycling of materials

When we turn our environmental protection perspective from a small kitchen to a larger scale, we can find that the degradability, recyclability, and recyclability of kitchen cabinet materials are essential for protecting the entire natural environment.

For example, in terms of environmental protection of materials, aluminum is better than stainless steel, because aluminum has a relatively low boiling point of only 200 degrees, while stainless steel is as high as 2000 degrees, which is very unfavorable for the recycling of materials. There are also boards used in the manufacture of cabinets. Because of its raw materials and processing technology, particleboard uses wood more rationally than the usual density board, so it has been popularized abroad.

In addition, there is also the use of plastic materials. Some inconspicuous parts, such as the adjustment legs of the kitchen cabinet, can be completely recycled using plastic. As long as it has qualified strength and can play a solid support role, there is no need to use the so-called ABS plastic. Wait.

Direction 4: Energy-saving design

Undoubtedly, energy conservation is also a vital link in environmental protection, especially today when we advocate the establishment of an energy-saving society. Where is the energy saving of kitchen cabinets?

For example, the choice of sink directly affects the amount of tap water used. Choosing a single large sink is more water-efficient than choosing the currently popular double-tank sink; not only is the large sink needs to store more water, but also because the double sink can be soaked and washed separately, water can be more rationally used.

For example, the gas stove should be installed as far as possible to avoid the air outlet. If it is installed beside the door just for convenience, the gas will be affected by the flowing air during use. Not only will the gas consumption increase, but also the oil fume. It may be blown away by the wind and cannot be absorbed in a concentrated manner, thus affecting the operation of the range hood.

Direction 5: Integrate into the environment

The kitchen has always been regarded as a garbage "manufacturing workshop". Fishy waste and food residues are more headaches; dirty floors and clogged sinks are commonplace, and improper cleaning of residual garbage can easily breed bacteria, and at the same time It will also invite four evils.

Therefore, in some advanced countries and regions, people pre-process the garbage in their own kitchens. By installing garbage shredders, some garbage can be discharged directly through the waste water pipe; and these garbage residues can be recycled in the water plant , Processing into organic fertilizer, kill two birds with one stone.

Direction six: safety in use

Kitchen cabinets are also places where water, electricity, and coal gather. If these three things are used improperly, they will cause harm to the environment and even affect personal safety. Therefore, the safety of the use of kitchen cabinets is very important. The overflow in the sink should be set up reasonably; electrical appliances, wires and plugs should also be placed properly to avoid leakage; there are also gas valves, flameout protection, and so on.

Although these are not directly part of the kitchen cabinets, they are integrated with the design and installation of the kitchen cabinets. Therefore, they must be considered at the beginning of the installation of the kitchen cabinets.

Direction Seven: New Technology and New Materials

The advancement of kitchen cabinet technology will undoubtedly bring more benefits to people's lives. For example, the development of new countertop materials and the addition of antibacterial technology have made the kitchen countertops, which are very easy to breed bacteria, a place for sterilization and antibacterial.
