Have you Heard About PlanWood?

27/7/2018

 
We know that PlanToys make awesome wooden toys from chemical-free sustainable rubberwood, but did you know they take this process one step further and produce a unique material called PlanWood?
So...What is PlanWood?

​PlanWood is made from 99% surplus rubberwood saw dust – the 2 tonnes of saw dust that accumulates from PlanToys’ daily toy production – along with organic pigments for colour and less than 1% of formaldehyde-free E-zero glue., and it isn’t treated with any other heavy chemicals.

​The mixture is put into high-pressure moulders and submitted to a couple of tonnes of pressure – the end result is a high density fibre known as PlanWood. The high pressure process means that very little glue, as you read above, is needed to bind the sawdust together, and it doesn’t need to be treated with any heavy chemicals.

The moulding process means that PlanWood can be easily moulded into a huge range of shapes that isn’t possible with solid rubberwood.

Because the organic colour pigments are added during the composite process, the finished product is more eco-friendly than products that are hand-painted after being processed. There’s an added bonus that PlanWood products will not chip or peel because the colour is literally part of the materials, making them durable and washable even in the dishwasher.
