Health and environmental protection have become essential topics in the home industry, especially when it comes to the quality of our living spaces. From daily life to clothing, food, housing, and travel, the environment we live in plays a crucial role in our well-being. Since people spend about one-third of their time sleeping, the comfort and air quality of the bedroom directly affect health. That’s why choosing an environmentally friendly wardrobe is more important than ever. Today, we’ll explore the concept of an “eco-friendly wardrobe†and highlight the importance of creating a safe and healthy home environment.
On December 25, 2012, the Guangzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau commissioned the Guangzhou Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute to conduct a quality check on wood furniture products in the local market. A total of 66 samples from 51 manufacturers were tested. Out of these, 42 passed the inspection, while 24 failed, resulting in a failure rate of 36.36%. The main issues included formaldehyde emissions, operating instructions, chair strength, and cabinet stability. After excluding 17 batches with incomplete descriptions, the pass rate for qualified samples reached 89.4%, while 10.6% of the products had physical quality issues.
Formaldehyde emission is one of the most critical indicators when evaluating the eco-friendliness of home products. When shopping for furniture, you often hear terms like E1 and E0, which are national standards for formaldehyde levels. Internationally, there are three levels: E2 (≤5.0mg/L), E1 (≤1.5mg/L), and E0 (≤0.5mg/L). Despite these clear definitions, the market remains confusing, with many brands using different interpretations. During a visit to major stores like Guangzhou Ma Club and Zhengjia, guides gave conflicting answers about what E0 really means and whether it's truly available in China.
E0 or E1? How can consumers tell the difference?
Ms. Dong, who recently renovated her home, shared her frustration with reporters. She wanted to choose an eco-friendly wardrobe for her child’s room but found it difficult to distinguish between real E0 and marketing hype. “All brands claim to be eco-friendly, but the terms E0 and zero formaldehyde don’t always make sense,†she said. This confusion is common among many shoppers, as store staff often give inconsistent information.
During a visit to several furniture stores in Guangzhou, reporters found that most salespeople claimed all their products were environmentally friendly. Some said they met the European E0 standard, while others insisted that E0 was just a marketing term and that E1 was the real benchmark. With so many conflicting opinions, it’s hard for consumers to know what to believe.
Are all boards the same? Is brand the only guarantee?
Since people spend a lot of time in the bedroom, the air quality of the room is vital. Wardrobes, in particular, need to meet high environmental standards. But what type of board is the most eco-friendly? While online sources offer various “standard answers,†many consumers still prefer to visit stores and rely on sales representatives for guidance.
According to reports from the stores, most wardrobes use either MDF or particle board, especially in humid southern regions where solid wood is less common. However, there’s no consensus on which material is best. Some salespeople say particle board is more eco-friendly due to less glue, while others argue that MDF is safer and more durable. Others even claim that solid wood is the greenest option because it contains no glue and releases zero formaldehyde. But without a unified standard, it’s hard to know which advice to trust.
Do test certificates actually prove quality?
When pretending to be a customer, reporters asked to see the environmental test certificates for a custom wardrobe. The sales guide first showed a “10-ring certification†displayed at the entrance. When asked to see the detailed test results, the guide refused, saying, “You can’t just look at the inside. It’s a brand secret.†Another guide mentioned that they would only provide the certificate after a purchase was made.
After visiting multiple stores, the reporter found that very few salespeople were willing to show the full details of the test reports. One guide explained, “Unless you buy the product, we won’t share the certificate.†This lack of transparency makes it even harder for customers to verify the true environmental safety of the products they’re considering.
