We respect the environment and the wellbeing of the earth.
Our wastage programme ensures all by-products and adhesives are disposed of without impact on the environment, and any off-cut timber is carefully converted into energy for heating. We are currently working on a sustainable manufacturing project to reduce waste by 25% by turning it into value-added products.
Techlam is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), an international organisation that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests. Certification is given to businesses involved in the timber industry that operate in an environmentally, economically and socially responsible way.
We are also currently involved in an industry wide programme working towards certification for Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
