Sustainability & Environment

And where is nature?

As a wood supplier, we bear responsibility for the conscious use of our forests and nature. Wood is a renewable raw material. In order to use as few other raw materials as possible, our pallets are manufactured by mechanically processing the wood. As a result, little energy and no water is required. We use a wood gasification boiler to heat our company. This is characterized by the fact that compared to other solid fuel boilers it achieves very low pollutant emissions and a very high level of efficiency. We are committed to sustainable forestry. For us, as for most European countries, the annual felling of wood is less than the regrowing wood. Therefore, for us, the most important suppliers of packaging wood are the domestic suppliers. Wood is also climate-neutral. It binds large amounts of CO2. Sustainable forest management and wood use thus reduces the increase in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. We have been checked and the proper implementation of the wood treatment and/or wood marking according to ISPM No. 15 in accordance with Sections 13p, q, r of the PBVO has been established.
