PEFC certified

Plastivan is certified to supply PEFC certified products. Our concern for the environment and the development of sustainable products has ensured that from today we are in a position to present this certificate. Duofuse wood composite consists of 50% wood flour. This wood comes from sustainably managed forests. The wood flour is mixed with PVC in our own granulation plant to form WPC granules. These are then used in the production of wood composite decking boards and fencing. After its usable life, wood composite is also completely recyclable.
This certification ensures that Duofuse is the environmentally friendly alternative for tropical hardwood.
