Wood. Our sustainable resource,
a gift from nature.

Timber as bio-ecological building material.

Sustainably sourced timber is the most eco-friendly building material.

It is 100% renewable and recyclable. It fits in perfectly with the concept of cradle-to-cradle and circular bio-based construction. Timber is the only building material that does not emit carbon dioxide when made, it actually absorbs it. It is also a great insulator.

 

Sustainable sourcing and production.

Altripan is a member of FSC®, PEFC (PEFC/07-31-207) and imports with a FLEGT licence.

Three organisations for legal, sustainable and responsible forest management. This is how we commit to the sustainable sourcing of the timber we import. Our timber meets all of the criteria of the European Timber Regulation that prohibits illegally harvested timber.

And we even go a step further. We monitor the production process of our plywood sheets from A to Z. We follow the entire production chain, from seed to tree to purchasing the plywood panels.

This way we make an active contribution to protecting the environment.

 

Altripan's plywood: environmentally friendly.

We are a member of multiple organisations:

FSC® company group
FEDUSTRIA
Le Commerce du Bois France (LCB)
Timber Trade Federation (TTF)
The Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA)

Our sheets and panels are available with the following certifications:

Forest Steward Council (FSC®) FSC -C003444
Program for the Endorsement for Forest Certification (PEFC PEFC/07-31-207)
Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and trade (FLEGT)
