Enviro Lab

The EnviroLab was constructed in the fall of 2002 in Kitchener, ON and houses a research team dedicated to testing all aspects of quality control and product development. Our focus on quality control and product development, has quickly pushed Envirobond to become the leader in the specific field of Stabilized Jointing materials. Unlike other companies that focus on a wide range of products, Envirobond has focused all of its efforts on one specific field.

By developing the EnviroLab from the ground up with the specific intent of working on the Envirobond products, testing equipment and methods have been custom designed, making the lab a one of a kind facility. Specific equipment and methods such as rainfall simulators, leaching tests, weed growth analysis and permeability examination are examples of the labs specific capabilities.

Our research team continually tests our products in the lab as well as out in the field. A strong network of top contractors have been set up to continually use and monitor different aspects of our materials. Before launching any new change or additions to our product, thorough testing is conducted in the field by everyday top contractors. It is these contractors that were originally consulted on the needed properties for our materials and lead to us living the phrase “Built by the industry, for the industry”.

Envirobond has worked and still works closely with organizations such as Universities, Government research agencies and independent Research professionals.

In 2005, Envirobond was approved for a 2 year joint research project with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada involving one of the world experts in natural gums. Dr. Steve Cui, lead researcher on the project, is an inventor of two U.S. patents (one granted, one filed), both have been commercialized. He is also author or co-author of about 40 scientific papers, reviews, book chapters and the book Polysaccharide Gums froAgricultural Products.

Envirobond has developed the groundwork of the company on the functionality of its products. By continually furthering research, quality control and product development, the foresight of the company is not only to be the leader today but to be the leader 20 years from now.
