New York is the ultimate tourist destination in the United States and one of the biggest globally. With more than 50 million people passing through the corridors of JFK airport every year, our material’s durability and impact-resistant properties will help to battle off any wear and tear.  

The solid grade laminate (SGL) used for this project is fire retardant (B-s1, d0) as standard, and in an environment susceptible to rigorous fire safety standards this feature is important.  

The 2D panels have been uniquely engineered using digital printing to appear like they are protruding off the surface, giving them an intriguing 3D effect. The panels, that are fit for the front cover of Vogue, were carefully manufactured using state of the art HOMAG CNC machinery and technology to produce this evocative design.

7 deliveries to the Big Apple. More than 1000 individual panels, spread artistically across several areas throughout the airport. The end product is a fascinating, abstract design, inspired by the cubism style of Pablo Picasso.

So if you’re jetting out to the city that never sleeps, head to Terminal 8 to catch a glimpse of our laminates being showcased at the world-renowned airport.

All 45.05 tons of carbon emissions generated from the manufacture, fabrication, delivery and install of BioCarbon Laminates for this JFK airport project have been calculated and offset through a Carbon Management Programme to ensure carbon neutrality cradle-to-gate.   

We are all becoming much more aware of the ongoing climate crisis and therefore adapting our choices to better suit the environment. With that in mind, we were conscious in producing a carbon-neutral laminate. The laminates themselves are produced in a carbon-neutral facility, which constantly monitors carbon emissions and reduces them to zero. 

To lower our carbon footprint, we have replaced VOC-emitting resins for a water-based alternative. We engage in carbon offsetting through the use of renewables, including hydroelectric power. In addition to this, we counter carbon emissions with a reforestation tree-planting programme. 

Through our UK Distributor, Performance Panels, the carbon-neutral journey continues. As part of their sustainable distribution initiative, the carbon emissions of every delivery are calculated, and Performance Panels take responsibility of emissions generated whilst in their care. Through their carbon management programme, carbon emissions are offset by investing in gold standard carbon credits to ensure a cleaner delivery of goods, achieving carbon-neutral deliveries to your door. 

We relish the opportunity to support our customers on their own carbon neutrality journey as we all work towards a sustainable future.
