New life for sawdust from Moelven

Supporting innovation and identifying new ways to utilise by-products are two areas that Moelven is more than happy to contribute towards. The Wood Region is a project that makes this possible.

What does it mean for me that the products I buy are certified?

It means that you have bought products for which we are able to document that the raw materials originate from sustainable forestry, that the production process adheres to all industry standards and that you can be confident that the products will be of the quality we promise.

Buying local where possible

Smart and larger purchases result in a better climate footprint. “We established a purchasing group at Moelven in 2020. The main purpose is to consolidate all of our agreements and establish new corporate agreements in areas that have a major impact on profitability and sustainability,” says Head of Purchasing for Building Systems, Thomas Hansen.
