CONTINUING THE CARBON NEUTRAL JOURNEY GATE-TO-GRAVE

We approach sustainability open and honestly. By sharing our understanding of how we achieve carbon neutrality of BioCarbon Laminates cradle-to-gate we aim to encourage and support you on your journey in order to continue carbon neutrality of the material Gate-to-Grave.

By calculating the carbon emissions of BioCarbon Laminates whilst in our care we are able to take the responsibility of handling the carbon through our carbon management programme. As part of our programme, we have invested in carbon credits that are used to support projects across the world. From Wind Farms in India to the Kumasi Stoves off setting project in Ghana, where added benefits include employment and wealth management for developing countries.

By offsetting our emissions whilst the material is in our care, we can ensure that carbon neutrality of the material is achieved Cradle-to-Gate.

ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL PROTECTION

BioCarbon Laminates range of HPL and SGL offer Antibacterial protection with the added protection of an innovative Antimicrobial surface nanotechnology, designed to actively inhibit the spread of microorganisms.

Through dedicated research and development Antimicrobial protection comes as standard across our complete range of laminates both in HPL and SGL, which demonstrates our commitment to the health, safety, and wellbeing of our end users.

Our HPL and SGL are tested under JIS Z 2801 method, the industry standard for testing Antimicrobial performance on hard surfaces, as well as ISO 22196.

BREATHING SUSTAINABILITY

Global and UK Government schemes have set their sights on reducing their carbon footprint to meet ambitious net zero targets. BioCarbon Laminates will help your organisation to support these targets with laminate materials suitable for any installation project.

OUR CARBON NEUTRAL JOURNEY

Our laminates are produced in a carbon neutral manufacturing facility which monitors, controls and balances carbon emissions, reducing them to zero.

We do this by:

Engaging in carbon off-setting by using renewables including hydroelectric energy
Exchanging VOC-emitting resin for a water-based alternative
Countering CO₂ emissions with a reforestation tree-planting programme
Investing in wind farm projects around the world

HOW TO ACHIEVE A CARBON NEUTRAL FOOTPRINT

BioCarbon Laminates are the first carbon neutral laminate to be supplied within the UK and have achieved a carbon neutral footprint by controlling, monitoring and balancing the carbon emitted by reviewing all product development practices. By doing so, changes were made in the choice of raw materials, manufacturing processes, energy sources and consumption levels – to even freight and distribution to the customer – in order to confidently provide a net zero decorative laminate available in both HPL and SGL.

This video details the steps taken, the audits undertaken by third parties, and the importance of choosing sustainable materials within the interior industry.
