The company released a statement saying that based on published Environmental Product Declarations (EN 15804), the company’s raw particleboard and melamine-faced particleboard represent the lowest fossil CO₂ emission levels among comparable products in the German market.
Pfleiderer says it is important as transparent, comparable carbon data is becoming increasingly important in material selection, particularly in public procurement, certified building projects and major tenders.
It says for raw particleboard, fossil emissions amount to 1rekg CO₂e per cubic metre, around 27% below the German industry average.
Melamine-faced particleboard reaches 157 kg CO₂e, around 38% below the German industry average, according to Pfleiderer.
“With transparent, verified product data, we provide our customers with a clear and measurable advantage in an increasingly demanding market environment,” says Stefan Zinn, Chief Commercial Officer of Pfleiderer.
