Climate change
Accsys is commited to monitoring, managing and reducing the impacts of its operations while maximising the beneficial impacts of its business and products on the world.
Biodiversity
Accsys is committed to sourcing all wood used to manufacture its products from FSC (C012330)® or PEFC certified sources to ensure zero deforestation, ensuring biodiversity risks are accounted for in the Company’s due diligence processes.
Waste management
Accsys maintains high standards of waste management at its production sites. We sort our waste into hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Our hazardous waste is disposed of in line with local environmental policies and we comply with all local regulations and audit requirements. We are committed to recycling waste where possible and diverting from landfill. Waste is an integral part of our R&D and innovation processes, where we explore opportunities to minimise waste and optimize packaging.
We operate an Accoya offcuts reclamation programme to take back unused Accoya offcuts from manufacturers to be recycled into Tricoya.
Water management
While we do not operate in water stressed regions, careful use of water is a key consideration. We recycle water where possible and use river water for our cooling process in Arnhem and Kingsport, returning the water to the river once used in a closed loop system, and have rainwater collection and usage at our site in Barry.
