Environment & Sustainability
Our environmental cycle – sustainability is more than a word
We stand for the responsible use of wood. As in nature, we also organize our processes in cycles that conserve resources. Our focus is on our closed material cycle.
We act responsibly towards our forests and the environment, and are certified according to PEFC and FSC®, depending on the availability of the wood. In accordance with the EU Timber Regulation, EUTR, we only buy timber in the region from monitored suppliers.
At our sawmill in Brilon, every year over 92,000 square feet of spruce and
pine logs are felled from sustainable forestry. Sawmill by-products are directly processed further in the wood-based materials production.
To continually improve our environmental performance in the production process, we opt for internationally certified energy and environmental management systems in accordance with ISO 50.001, ISO 14.001 and EMAS.
We provide full transparency through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). They give customers important information about the environmental and health aspects of our products.
Recycled wood, consisting of waste wood from disposed goods and those not fit for sale, is prepared and used for particleboard production.
Biogenic fuels which can no longer be used materially are turned into heat and green electricity by us in our own biomass power plants.
