Our environmental commitment with Fibo Wall Panels

Renewable sustainability

Fibo wall panels are made of certified and renewable wood, come with their own EPD and can contribute to gaining extra points for construction projects that are to be environmentally certified according to LEED.

Wood is a renewable resource that stores carbon even when in use in products. Fibo wall panel is made of PEFC-certified woods that ensure sustainable forestry and comes with its own EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) which documents the environmental calculation for both the raw material and the production. In our annual ESG report, you can also follow how we work for reduced energy use, better waste management and circular economy.

Environmental Declaration

Every Fibo wall panel comes with its own Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). An EPD is an independent, verified environmental declaration that provides consumers with comparable information on the environmental impact of different products in a life cycle perspective. The EPD is based on the principles and rules that apply in the international standard ISO 14025, and has broad international acceptance. Fibo’s EPD can also be used by building contractors when new buildings are to be certified in accordance with BREEAM.

CO2 emissions

At Fibo, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact throughout the value chain and therefore work continuously to reduce emissions and energy consumption. We have invested NOK 140 million in new machines and new equipment to improve efficiency and at the same time reduce our total energy needs.

In 2017, we completed a major rebuild and replacement of production equipment that provides energy savings per square meter with increased production volume. At the same time, we improved the logistics at the plant so that the materials could be transported shorter than before. At Fibo, we work continuously with both the whole and specific details to improve our processes and reduce the environmental impact.
