FSC®certified composite wood
A sustainable architecture with WPC
The mission of Woodn Greenwood is to offer the construction industry an alternative material to natural wood..
A technologically advanced and aesthetically valuable composite wood, able to prevent global deforestation.
That’s the reason why, our WPC stands out on the global scene for having achieved the FSC® certification with a 70% mix formula: this label indicates that the wood used in Woodn products comes from FSC® certified material, recycled material and /or controlled wood.
The procurement is complex and we carefully follow the path the materials take from the forest to the shelf (chain of custody).
Behind every label there is the story of the product and we work to ensure that it has been made with wood from sustainable sources.
The wood from responsibly managed forests ensures that satisfying today's needs will not compromise the world of tomorrow.
* FSC® certified products available upon request.
ENERGY NEEDS AND WATER CYCLE
The production plant, based in Treviso, covers an area of approximately 14,000 sqm and is powered by a photovoltaic system that meets 100% of daytime energy requirement. 3,000 sqm were dedicated to the installation of photovoltaic panels, enogh to produce approximately 311,000 kW/h/year.
The water used to cool the 9 extrusion lines is managed by a new generation closed-cycle system. The water is collected, cooled and reintroduced into the cooling system. Only once a year the water purified and replaced in order to avoid any waste.
Woodn Greenwood profiles are entirely recyclable, thus can be turned back into WPC and therefore into new profiles and systems
Through a custom made machinery, the material is first divided by color, then placed inside a shredder which grinds it into a mesh ready to be reintroduced into the production process.
This is the closing of a virtuous circle that demonstrates the company's commitment towards the creation of a true circular economy.
The life cycle analysis (LCA - Life Cycle Assessment) is being completed and will become an essential tool for the implementation of an integrated product policy, with consequent environmental product declaration (EPD - Environmental Product Declaration) and issuing of CAM (Criteri Ambientali Minimi for Italy).
The recycling of the composite wood is managed internally by the Woodn Greenwood, to guarantee a waste-free production and minimize the need for further supplies.
