Indoor air quality is increasingly the deciding factor in material selection for schools, hospitals and residential developments. Cork's natural binder, suberin, is part of the cell wall — there is no need to add formaldehyde or isocyanate-based resins to hold the material together.

Independent VOC testing places quality cork agglomerates well below the most stringent European limits. For healthcare projects pursuing WELL or LEED certification, this is a meaningful differentiator.
