Sustainability

We take our responsibility to help protect the planet. But it doesn’t stop there. Because there is more to sustainable entrepreneurship and actions. We also want to make a positive impact on our customers and employees by offering them a higher quality of life and a sustainable work environment. One Home - our sustainability strategy - illustrates our sustainability goals and details how we go about pursuing them.

One Home. Three pillars. One goal.

Unilin is investing in the world’s biggest MDF recycling plant.

Backed by a €20 million investment, Unilin is set to start recycling MDF on an industrial scale at its site in Bazeilles, France. This represents a great leap forward for the circular economy, as Unilin plans to make this innovative service available to the entire sector via Unilin Technologies.

Waste wood that can no longer be recycled is turned into green energy

It is our ambition to recycle wood as long as possible. Unfortunately wood cannot be recycled indefinitely because the fibres have become too degraded. What happens to the waste wood that can no longer be used to manufacture high-grade products? Smart incineration in our green power plants to generate our own green energy!
