-
Low carbon foot printThe wood content come from a renewable resource and trees absorb and store carbon dioxide. This stored carbon remains locked in the wood even after the trees are harvested and processed into products. -
Beautiful hapticsThe material comes with a natural surface finish due to the wood content. With the inclusion of large fibers you get a unique and sustainable look. -
Bio-based or recycledOur wood content can be combined with bio-based or recycled plastic alternatives to further improve sustainability performance.
-
Durable and strongOur compunds naturally offers great tensile strength and stiffness, which helps reinforce the plastic. -
Sustainable wood fibersAll the wood we use is sourced from responsibly managed forests, and the fibers is waste material that would otherwise be incinerated. -
VersatileOur range of formulations provide a diverse set of properties ideal for replacing plastic
Comparing wood compounds with conventional plastics
Choosing a woodcompound will generate CO2 savings, where carbon is collected and CO2 is stored in the wooden part of the material.
Choosing a fully bio-based woodcompound “ECO”, to replace conventional plastic offers you significant CO2 savings. Our ECO-offer is not only carbon neutral, it even provides you with a negative CO2 footprint.

We Love Our Customers
“Instead of just protecting the jewelry during transportation, we wanted a nice-looking, reusable box that will live long at home, to store jewelry or other small things. We also wanted to avoid long airfreight for environmental reasons. A box made of woodcompounds, available from a local supplier close to us, was a perfect match” – Lauri Nordberg, Founder, Ilonakoru
“Long-term sustainability means to reduce plastic, not to trade one plastic by another.” – Thomas Grüner, Founder, ecoSHAVE
“When we started to explore the bioplastics world, we found lots of bio-based materials, but with
woodcompounds we were able to have a fully bio-based material and at the same time reduce 40% of
plastics in our handles. This is the most sustainable solution for us.”– Bernd Schäfer, Amefa, Marketing Director
“Quercetti has, as one of its main priority, the children safety, therefore producing our toys by replacing harmful plastics is nowadays a company mission.
Woodcompounds offered us the opportunity to hit the goal in combination with a “greener “ industrial approach.” – Stefano Quercetti CEO Quercetti Toys
