europanel are 100% committed to wood waste recycling initiatives.
reDirect Wood Recycling was established to provide a closed loop service on recycling wood and particleboard to decrease the amount going to landfill waste.
The reDirect Wood Recycling initiative reclaims materials that would otherwise go to landfill, thereby reducing waste, preserving plantation pine forests, and protecting the environment for future generations.
The manufacturing and production of new particleboard utilises the use of recycled wood and off cuts. By participating in wood off cut collection through the reDirect Wood Recycling initiative we are contributing to sustainable manufacturing practices.

Fully sealed airtight waste bins effectively eliminate airborne dust particles being released into the atmosphere during manufacturing processes.
Optimises cutting patterns which reduces offcuts and waste from board products resulting in less waste.
Provided as protection on board products are returned to supplier for reuse, not landfill.
Committed to reducing our carbon footprint with our 100kW solar system, consisting of 320+ panels on the roof of our joinery factory in Auburn NSW provides an output of approximately 360 kWh per day.
MDF fibre material is generated from Managed Renewable Plantation Pine and is fabricated locally within Australia.
MDF is the most cost-effective, sustainable, and versatile substrate material available. Suitable for prefinished low-pressure laminate, veneer, and paint.
europanel work with suppliers to have MDF sheets laid to project specific custom sizes where possible, to minimise material wastage which inevitably contribute to landfill.
Finishes: Prefinished low pressure laminate melamine finishes, polyurethane painted finishes, timber veneered finishes.
Most timber veneers are independently certified to be from responsibly managed forests and controlled sources. They have all the beauty and warmth that can only come from using real timber. At the same time, the FSC/ PEFC Certification gives the certainty that trees are being regrown to give continuing supply in perpetuity, the FSC and PEFC certification.
Most species are available with PEFC and FSC certification.
Finishes: Natural and eco-cert timber veneer finishes.
Like timber veneer, the timber used in the europanel ranges are all sourced from suppliers who only source their raw material from renewable forests.
Finishes: PEFC and FSC certified timber species.
europanel has its own inhouse polishing and baking facility, where we only use low Volatile Organic Compounds (Low VOC) based materials.
All spraying is carried out offsite in our Sydney based factory in our filtered spray booths.
Where possible europanel uses water based solvent finishes as they contain no formaldehyde and can be less harmful to the environment.
Finishes: Polyurethane colours, clear finishes, and stain finishes.
