About EGGER> Environment & Sustainability

Our environmental cycle – sustainability is more than a word for us.

Ecological Cycle: Overview from tree to product

We stand for the responsible use of the raw material wood. Like in nature, we also organise our processes in cycles that conserve resources. Our focus is on our closed material cycle.

Sustainable forestry

We support the sustainable development goals of the UN. With SDG 15, we are committed to the protection and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems and to promoting the management of our sustainable forest resource. All of our wood supplies come from verified legal and sustainable sources which are controlled according to ISO 38200. Our roundwood purchases are sourced from forests which have had third party verification against internationally recognised forest certification standards such as FSC®, PEFC or SFI, where this is available in the purchasing region.

Use of sawmill by-products

We also purchase by-products from the Sawmills and where possible, these are also sourced from certified supply chains. Our use of Sawmill by-products allows us to reduce our reliance on direct supplies of roundwood from the forest.

Wood-based material production and further processing

To continually improve our environmental performance in the production process, we are opting for internationally certified energy and environmental management systems in accordance with ISO 50001, ISO 14001 and EMAS.

Planning and application

We provide full transparency with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). They provide professionals with important information on environmental and health aspects, and are also available to interested end-users – for each of our base products.

Recycling

We recycle waste wood in our production of wood-based materials. It comes from disposed goods such as furniture, pallets or packaging material. In this way we conserve fresh resources and extend the effect of CO2 storage.

Renewable energy

We convert heat into green electricity in our own biomass power plants. The biomass and wood residues can no longer be used as materials in production.

More from wood means more transparency.

For us, wood is a working material and a valuable resource. We manufacture a wide range of products for furniture and interior design from nature's renewable resources. We act sustainably, conserve resources and protect the climate, thereby contributing to sustainable development and underlining our promise: More from wood.
