Environmental Commitment

PLANTING FUTURE FORESTS

Flexiteek offers you the lustrous looks of real teak without the environmental dilemmas associated with tropical hardwoods.

Like any product, Flexiteek has an environmental footprint. We have taken steps to minimise its impact by recycling our manufacturing waste into other products and using REACH compliant phthalate-free plasticisers.

PROUD TO PARTNER WITH WORLD LAND TRUST

Flexiteek - World Land Trust, an environmental charity.

HERE’S WHAT WE ARE DOING IN 2024

WORKING WITH WORLD LAND TRUST

We are proud to support World Land Trust (WLT), an international conservation charity that protects the world’s most biologically significant and threatened habitats, acre by acre.

GLOBAL TREE PLANTING

For every 10m² of Flexiteek that we sell, we donate £5 to fund reforestation of vital habitat through WLT’s Plant A Tree programme. This is currently supporting WLT partners in Borneo, Brazil, Kenya and Ecuador.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

We’ve been using recycled water in our UK manufacturing process for many years, helping to reduce our water use by over 80%. Along with a policy to recycle our waste in our territories (up to 70% in the UK in 2023) and using kinder plastics, we are striving to do more in 2024.

UK Certifications

Our UK manufacturing operation has been awarded ISO:14001 certification to underline the work they are doing to manufacture Flexiteek and our marine products in a more sustainable way. Supporting ISO: 14001 is a coveted Ecovadis Bronze certification which helps us understand how we can improve our environmental commitments.
