Take the test💪🪑 Extending the life of your furniture
Some furniture made from particleboard is a potential source of VOC and formaldehyde emissions. The glues used in such furniture release formaldehyde over a period of several months. So it's better to choose solid wood (which you can keep for a long time!) rather than chipboard.
What's more, you can find less polluting furniture by choosing eco-labelled furniture.
How is this figure calculated?
- Divers . ameublement . préservation = 'maximum'
