Pergo engineered wood floors are sustainably sourced & manufactured
By maximizing the use of every single tree, we minimize waste and our environmental impact. For instance, we craft different sized planks for you to choose from. And we only use wood recovered or sourced from sustainably managed forests in our hdf core.
If we told you that we optimize the use of every single tree, you probably would care, right? Therefore, we produce various sizes of planks for you to choose from, both in terms of length and width. This allows us to minimise waste and use pretty much the whole tree. Our obsession with mitigating waste also extends into the production process itself. Each step is scrutinised to minimise environmental impact and maximise the value extracted from our beloved wood.
When making the core of your Pergo wooden floors, we use either wood from fast-growing trees (Spruce or Hevea). The Hevea trees (rubberwood) are initially planted and used by other industries for latex tapping. After 25 years of service, they are usually harvested and incinerated, but not when we get our hands on them. Then they become an important part of your floor, which is a much better fate. The recovered wood waste used is gathered from sawmills for example – and would otherwise just be thrown away. By doing this, we can limit our use of slow-growing trees and make the most of our sustainable options.
