Environmental Commitment<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Flexiteek is committed to reducing the environmental impact of our products, helping build a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/header>\n\n\n\n

Changing for the Better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like any product, Flexiteek 3 has an environmental footprint. We are taking steps to minimise its impact by removing fossil-fuel based PVC and replacing it with a bio-attributed PVC, made from tree oil from sustainably managed forestry. And we continue to use REACH-compliant, phthalate-free plasticisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also support initiatives that help the environment, such as our partnership with World Land Trust to plant trees in areas of deforestation, typically due to teak farming. Across our four global locations, we are installing ground-source heat pumps, solar panels, EV chargers and implementing measures like water recycling in our manufacturing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are proud to support World Land Trust (WLT), an international conservation charity that protects the world\u2019s most biologically significant and threatened habitats, acre by acre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For every 10m\u00b2 of Flexiteek that we sell, we donate to fund reforestation of vital habitats through WLT\u2019s Plant A Tree programme. This is currently supporting WLT partners in Brazil, India and Armenia. We\u2019ve planted over 44 acres of trees so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decking Made Responsibly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the launch of Flexiteek 2G in 2014 we have been working to develop a more sustainable synthetic decking product. The result is the use of bio-attributed PVC which is derived from the use of Tall Oil (from trees). Tall oil has similar properties to fossil-fuel-based PVC but without the environmental dilemmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexiteek 3 is the only synthetic decking using bio-attributed PVC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tall Oil is produced from renewable and managed forestry locations in Sweden, Finland, and the USA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexiteek 3 is certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) to meet the standard for advanced products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our latest range produces up to 80% less greenhouse gases when compared to fossil-fuel based PVC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
