The is here, and this year’s Richlite booth is a true labor of love, innovation, and sustainability.

Built exclusively with our NSF-certified Heritage Collection in Natural, r50, and Slate, our booth was designed for durability, efficiency, and future reuse, with mix-and-match capabilities for shows to come.

As a sustainability sponsor, every corner was created to showcase Richlite’s food-safe paper-composite surfaces across front- and back-of-house applications, from tabletops, cabinetry, seating, cookware, cutting boards, and more.

Hygienic, microplastic-free, heat-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and a sustainable alternative to white poly boards for commercial kitchens.

Attending the show? Visit our Culinary Surfaces team at booth #13411 and experience the Richlite difference for yourself.

Since 1943, we’ve put hard work, grit, and a human touch into everything we do at Richlite. What started as a small, hands-on effort has grown into something we’re still deeply connected to today, making materials with care, intention, and respect for the world around us.

Over the years, we’ve continued to evolve through locally sourced paper, WE™ Technology, closed-loop manufacturing systems, ongoing third-party certifications and environmental declarations, and transparent, responsible sourcing practices.

Behind all of it is a simple belief: if we’re going to make something, it should be made thoughtfully, and it should last. The result is USA-made material built with accountability from the very beginning.

From our earliest days to now, our story has always been rooted in Washington State craftsmanship and the people who show up every day to do things the right way. It’s a promise we carry forward, together, every day.

LEED v5 from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is raising the bar for sustainable design, placing greater focus on carbon, transparency, and long-term performance. At Richlite, we support this shift with FSC-certified paper composite materials designed for durability, low emissions, and responsible sourcing.

What is WUI? The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) is where homes meet wildland vegetation, areas at higher risk for wildfire.

Richlite's Slate color, used as exterior panels, is WUI-compliant, meeting California Chapter 7A standards, so architects, builders, and homeowners can design with safety, performance, and sustainability in mind.

Read our latest blog for why and how WUI compliance matters. https://ow.ly/eLZs50YzWUB
