Wood-based materials with environmental values.
EGGER policies and processes meet high environmental standards. Carefully calculated statistics highlight a product’s carbon footprint, how much recycled material is used in the production phase and/or how much of the material is sourced from renewable raw materials. See example below.
Carbon footprint*
Wood-based materials are climate-friendly. They store more carbon dioxide than they emit during production.
Contribution to the bioeconomy**
Wood-based materials grow back.
Unlike fossil raw materials, wood is a renewable resource.
Contribution to the circular economy**
We conserve natural resources.
We act in cycles and make the best possible use of existing wood.
Wood proportion from the regional environment
We focus on short distance transportation. Our roundwood is mainly procured regionally.
Wood proportion from verified and certified sources
We use wood from verified and certified sources. We are committed to sustainable forest management
Full transparency from us and no paperwork for you
To save you time and effort, when you need to submit certification documents for your projects, we have stored all environmental information in one place for easy access.
