Environmentally friendly products
Working with a natural ressource implies making concrete commitments towards the environnement.
A commitment whitch goes beyong the legal or regulatory constraints.
Low indoor air emissions
Oberflex laminates are rated A+, in accordance with the NF EN ISO 16000-9 standard. Even before building materials were subjected to the "Indoor Air Emissions" labeling, Ober had already conducted regular testing campaigns for many years to measure and drastically reduce the emissions of volatile compounds from its products into indoor air.
A double PEFC™ and FSC® certification
We chose to use the PEFC™ and FSC® labels because these are currently the two labels that allow us to verify the proper sourcing of our wood resources in addition to Ober's own selection criteria. The wood components and products used in the manufacturing of Oberflex products come from sustainably managed forests. Their harvesting is controlled and monitored.
Our daily commitment has led to the double PEFC™ and FSC® certification of our chain of custody. Oberflex carries PEFC™ certified or FSC® certified products.
