Columbia PureBond

PureBond veneer-core plywood

In most regards, a traditional veneer-core plywood for cabinet carcase construction. Columbia Forest Products' PureBond, however, uses a formaldehyde-free soy-based binder, developed at Oregon State University, to hold the veneers together. Comparable in cost and quality to traditional plywood, but without the associated health risks.
Potential LEED credits for low-emitting and regionally-produced materials.
