As Baltic Wood we have been pursuing a philosophy of sustainable development for years, which is reflected in every stage of our operations – from the sourcing of raw materials and selection of components, to the manufacturing process, to the final products and their packaging. For us, being eco means taking care of both the planet and the health of our customers, whom we provide with natural, high-quality products.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of company is an eco-company?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

An eco-company is an enterprise that conducts its business in a sustainable manner, minimising its negative impact on the environment. It is characterised by several key features: from the selection and sourcing of raw materials and components, to production and waste management.<\/p>\n\n

Responsible sourcing of raw materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Eco companies use renewable or recycled raw materials, taking care to ensure that their sourcing does not lead to environmental degradation. When it comes to timber, cooperation with certified suppliers, such as FSC-certified ones, is the standard.<\/p>\n\n

Efficient use of resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Minimising energy, water and material consumption is a priority. Eco companies invest in energy-saving technologies and optimise production processes to reduce the waste of raw materials.<\/p>\n\n

Use of safe components<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Products created by eco companies are free of harmful chemicals such as formaldehydes or solvents. This makes them both user- and environment-friendly.<\/p>\n\n

Green packaging and logistics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Eco companies are eliminating disposable plastic packaging, replacing it with biodegradable or recyclable materials. Logistics are also being optimised to reduce CO\u2082 emissions.<\/p>\n\n

Reduction of emissions and waste<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Production takes place with minimal environmental impact, which means a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, toxic compounds and waste generation. A circular economy is often deployed, with production leftover material being recycled or reused.<\/p>\n\n

Transparency and certification<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Eco companies boast international certifications that back up their actions, such as FSC, ISO 14001 or FloorScore. They testify to meeting stringent environmental and quality standards.<\/p>\n\n

Natural floors: environment- and health-friendly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Did you know that although wood is a renewable resource, not every wooden floor can be called eco-friendly? The choice of components is of utmost importance.<\/p>\n\n

Our floors are manufactured with the use of eco-friendly adhesives, varnishes and oils that are free of harmful substances such as formaldehydes and phthalates. Consequently, they do not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and are safe for allergy sufferers and children.<\/p>\n\n

Eco-friendly manufacturing of Baltic Wood floors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The manufacturing process of our floors begins with responsible wood sourcing. We only cooperate with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified suppliers, which means that the raw material comes from forests managed in accordance with environmental, social and economic principles.<\/p>\n\n

In our manufacturing process we use:<\/p>\n\n
