Environment

The fibreboard panels manufactured by Western Louiseville Fiberboard (WLF). meet the most stringent environmental criteria. These panels are made from 100% recycled materials derived from post-consumption residues (around 60%) and post-industrial residues (around 40%). The binding agents are made from starch and paraffin. Our panels are made with the utmost respect for the environment and reduce impact on forest resources. The panels manufactured by WLF contain only natural non-toxic materials. They are stable, lightweight and easy to install.

Advantages:

• Our panels help obtain credits for green buildings and exceed the highest quality standards
• Post-consumption (60%) and post-industrial (40%) recycled content
• 100% recycled and recyclable product
• Closed-circuit manufacturing method (using less water and zero effluent)
• Non-toxic (made from wood fibres, starch and wax)
• No formaldehydes or VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
• Higher acoustic performance
• Thermal performance (R=3/in.)

In order to validate and control our raw material inputs, the government requires us to provide an annual report on our raw material supplies (Forest Registry). All the information related to the recycled wood content of our panels as well as their environmental properties are compiled in this annual report.
