A long-term approach
Danzer believes that the use of wood from sustainable sources is the perfect answer to many of today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. Its unique mix of properties make wood the most modern and responsible material on the planet offering many benefits: positive carbon contribution, low energy and water use in conversion, versatile application, renewable resource, natural beauty and many others. All of our business decisions are geared towards the best use of the precious hardwood resource and the sustainable success of all stakeholders involved.
Our strategy has two thrusts
1. Maximize the use of hardwood and minimize waste
Danzer strives to improve the value creation from hardwood trees in a way that more and better products are created from the same tree while being as customer specific as possible. This allows Danzer to reduce the amount of waste that is created in the value chain (actually wood has no waste – all wood byproduct can be used somehow, at least as fuel). Resource efficiency and material upgrading are key drivers behind this thinking.
2. Make hardwood more enviable and desirable
At the same time, we promote the benefits of using hardwood and develop solutions that allow substituting products with lesser environmental credentials with superior wood-based products. Inventing new processes and new products as well as effective communication are major drivers to this end.
