The built environment contributes around 40% of the UK’s total carbon footprint and has an urgent role to play in responding to the climate emergency.
RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge calls on members to meet net zero whole life carbon (or less) in the buildings they design by 2030. To meet this target, architects and designers are looking to make more sustainable choices and start their carbon neutral journey by specifying sustainable materials and building products.
We recognise the importance of meeting these requirements and through the supply of BioCarbon Laminates a unique product in the UK, we can offer materials to help you make more sustainable choices for future projects.
Furthermore, the BioCarbon Laminates range have received recognition of environmental performance through a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) from Cradle-to-Grave. The environmental impact and complete life cycle of the entire product portfolio is available for customers to view before making a purchase, so they can be confident in their specification.
