Our Commitment

KDP is proud to be part of the KCMA (Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer's Association's) Environmental Stewardship Program, (ESP).

This Environmental Stewardship Program is designed to recognize those cabinet companies who not only understand, but practice reducing pollution and waste while promoting resource sustainability. This designation represents the Industry Standard for practicing environmental responsibility.

The Environmental Stewardship Program requires it's licensee's to maintain their status by completing annual re-certification and provide proof of compliance.

There are 5 categories for annual compliance:

1. Air Quality
2. Resource Management Regarding Product offering
3. Resource Management Regarding Processes
4. Environmental Stewardship
5. Community Relations

Air Quality

Our lines are constructed using low VOC (volatile organic compounds), CARB & EPP CPA 2-06 compliant melamine. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires that all products manufactured using particle board have less than 0.18 ppm (parts per million) formaldehyde emissions. The Composite Panel Association (CPA) requires that all products manufactured using Particle Board have less than 0.2 ppm (parts per million) formaldehyde emissions.

Our Inset Lines are constructed using CARB compliant, no formaldehyde added plywood such as PureBond from Columbia Forest Products or Fresh Ply from Norbord. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires that all products manufactured using hardwood plywood have less than 0.08 ppm (parts per million) formaldehyde emissions.

Our MDF doors and cabinet components are manufactured using CARB & EPP CPA 2-06 compliant MDF. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires that all products manufactured using MDF have less than 0.21 ppm (parts per million) formaldehyde emissions. The Composite Panel Association (CPA) requires that all products manufactured using Particle Board have less than 0.2 ppm (parts per million) formaldehyde emissions.

More than 75% of our products are finished at our Facility, and the finishes used emit no greater HAPS (Hazardous Air Pollutants) than allowed by our local ministry of the Environment.
