Skip to content When it comes to building or renovating your kitchen, laundry or cabinetry, the board you choose matters — not just for looks, but for health, performance, and the planet. By supporting New Zealand manufacturers who produce low-emission, high-quality board, you’re making a smarter choice for your home and the environment. Locally made board often meets stricter standards for formaldehyde emissions and sustainable practices, supports Kiwi jobs and travels fewer kilometres to get to your project — all adding up to a safer, more sustainable result.
Choosing board that’s made in New Zealand does more than support your next project — it backs local businesses, protects jobs, and upholds higher standards. Kiwi manufacturers operate under strict rules around worker safety and environmental impact, meaning the products you buy are made responsibly. By keeping production onshore, you’re helping to grow a stronger, fairer, and more sustainable industry right here at home.
Low-emission boards reduce your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals, making them ideal for homes, childcare centres, schools, and workplaces.
Particle board and MDF are graded based on how much formaldehyde they release. The lower the emissions, the safer and more environmentally responsible the product is.
Choosing low-emission materials supports cleaner manufacturing and waste reduction. E0 boards often meet stricter sustainability standards too.
New Zealand manufacturing regulations face some of the strictest environmental and health & safety requirements – So choosing an NZ made product means you can be confident its kinder on the environment, and the people making it.
NZ Panels Group & Laminex both have Eco Choice Aotearoa Certifications, and have a range of initiatives to show their commitment to the environment.
MDF, particleboard, plywood and melamine products manufactured in New Zealand also result in less environmental impact from shipping heavy wood products internationally.
Higher quality boards are usually denser and more consistent. They hold screws better, resist sagging, and maintain their appearance longer – ideal for kitchen cabinetry and built-in joinery. NZ manufactured board tends to be denser and higher quality than imported board (which is often a lower density to save on shipping costs)
