As part of the EGGER Group, Timberpak supports the material use of recycled wood. In wood-based products, carbon remains temporarily stored throughout their service life. This storage period can be extended through recycling. In the 2025/2026 business year, products manufactured by the EGGER Group stored 14.3 million tonnes of CO₂.

Waste hierarchy
Sending timber waste to landfill should be the last option. Not only is it increasingly expensive but re-use and recycling are much more sustainable methods.
Whereas burning wood releases CO2, chipboard production locks carbon away for the lifetime of the product and adds value to the wood.
