Environmental Care
Formica Limited, like all the component companies of Formica Corporation, recognises how important it is to safeguard Earth’s natural resources - resources which, in many cases, are celebrated in our laminate designs. So we have a solid commitment to protecting the environment both in sourcing the materials for, and in manufacturing, our products.
Sustainable Sources
Formica® high pressure laminates consist of paper and thermosetting synthetic resins, with paper comprising more than 60% of the product. The pulp for manufacturing this paper uses timber from managed sustainable softwood forests and from recycled paper products.
Disposal and Recycling
Formica laminate waste can be burned in modern, officially approved industrial incinerators, or can be disposed of in official landfill sites. Thermo-recycling, which recovers 18-20 MJ/kg, is the best option for disposing of waste high pressure laminate.
