Sustainability
We believe it should be easy to commit to a sustainable solution. Therefore we strive hard to keep our products quality high while priced low. We also try to make it simple to make business with us, we believe that is equally important.
We also care deeply about social responsibility and do good for the local community. We operate from a small town, Hyltebruk in Sweden and most of our employees are not only long-term employees of ours, they are also born and raised around Hylte. The town is known for its rich history in the paper and pulp industry and is now at the forefront of a new era in sustainable materials manufacturing. A growing society which may become the Sillicon Valley of sustainable materials? Oh well, one should allow themselves to dream sometimes.

Our Vision
At Woodcomposite Sweden, our vision is to contribute to the common good by creating products that actively reduce CO₂ emissions. We achieve this by using renewable resources such as wood and biobased polymers derived from plants. Our commitment extends to supporting the Swedish forestry industry, a cornerstone of our nation’s heritage and a key player in global sustainability efforts.
Swedish forests have experienced significant growth over the past decades, today covering apr. 70% of the Swedish land amounting to 28 million hectares. Since the 1950s, the volume of standing timber in Sweden has nearly doubled, increasing by approximately 80%. This growth is a testament to effective and sustainable forest management practices that ensure a net annual increase in forest resources while supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health.

Young, rapidly growing trees play a crucial role in carbon sequestration. They absorb carbon dioxide at a faster rate compared to older trees because their growth rate is higher, leading to more efficient carbon capture and storage in their biomass. This process not only helps mitigate climate change but also contributes to healthier and more resilient forest ecosystems.
