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 act responsibly with regard to 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.

Sawmill

At our sawmill in Brilon, every year 800,000 cubic metres of spruce and pine logs are felled from sustainable forestry. Sawmill by-products are directly processed further in the wood-based materials 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.
