BRE Global has presented Medite Europe Ltd with an Environmental Profile certificate for its MDF products.

Environmental Profiles are designed as a standardised, reliable and independent source of information on building materials and components. They assess the life cycle of products from extraction and manufacture, to use and disposal.

“As an industry we need to make sure that the products and services we use make as little impact on the environment as possible,” said Paul Gibbon, BRE’s director of materials.

“This is why life cycle analysis is so important and we are pleased that companies like Medite are going down the Environmental Profile certification route.”

The presentation was made at last week’s Wood Futures: Countdown to Zero conference in London, jointly organised by TTJ and the Medite 2016 Forum.
