Centennial Woods Reclaimed Wood Products Earn GREENGUARD Gold

Certification for Supporting Healthier Indoor Environments

Laramie, WY, December 17, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Centennial Woods, LLC, the leading producer of
reclaimed wood from snow fences in Wyoming, has earned UL Environment's GREENGUARD Gold
Certification for their sustainable, carbon-negative reclaimed wood products.

Products that have achieved this certification are proven to meet some of the world's most rigorous,
third-party chemical emissions standards - helping to reduce indoor air pollution and the risk of chemical
exposure while aiding in the creation of healthier indoor environments.

The GREENGUARD Gold Certification standard is rigorous and includes health-based criteria for
additional chemicals, also requiring lower total VOC emissions levels to ensure that products are
acceptable for use in environments such as schools and healthcare facilities.

“With this certification, our products can now contribute to WELL® points in addition to the LEED® v.4
system MR3 and MR4 credits our wood already qualified for with FSC® certification of being 100%
recycled,” said Ed Spal, CEO of Centennial Woods. “Beyond the certification is the fact that the end user
can be confident that the wood they are placing inside their home, school or business is safe for indoor air
quality and happens to look great as well.”

Centennial Woods builds, maintains, and then reclaims the aged wood off of the hundreds of miles of
snow fences lining the Wyoming highways at no cost to the taxpayer, assisting in sustaining the safety of
travel along the highways during the fierce winters that occur here. These six to twelve feet wooden
fences endure the harsh elements to prevent snow drifts from forming on Wyoming's interstates and
highways during long winters. The state's intense weather conditions are ideal for producing stunning and
sustainable weathered wood, with a climate so intense that the wood skips the energy-intensive process of
kiln drying, making Centennial Woods' reclaimed wood a carbon-negative product. After 10 to 15 years
of protecting the highways, Centennial Woods then reclaims the aged wood from the fences, and puts up
new wood in its place to start the process all over again. Fully sustainable for years to come.

“By earning GREENGUARD Gold Certification for their products, Centennial Woods has demonstrated
their dedication to supporting healthier indoor environments, a critically important effort, as many spend
upwards of 90% of their time indoors,” said Albert Uggetti, Vice President and General Manager of UL's
Environment division. Uggetti's division works to advance global sustainability, environmental health,
and safety by supporting the growth and development of environmentally preferable products, services,
and organizations.

Before Centennial Woods began reclaiming Wyoming snow fence, the boards from the fences were either
burned or discarded in a landfill when replaced. In 1999, Centennial Woods discovered the strength and
beauty of Wyoming snow fence wood and vowed to repurpose it.
