SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH
Pelko are FSC and Eco Merit accredited. We have always encompassed the spirit of all environmental regulations, and not just minimalistic adherence to their provisions.
Since the 1990’s Pelko has only used timbers from renewable sources. All raw materials are subjected to stringent and continuous certifications before being used in production. All veneers and timbers are handpicked from renewable European sources.
Our commitment to the environment commences prior to the production cycle.
Pelko have also replaced all steel frames with aluminium, which is easily recycled.
The above, coupled with the most advanced technical manufacturing ensure all our products meet the highest environmental standards.
As a furniture manufacturer based in Ireland, using our own transport & installation teams, enables us to use no packaging to get product on site in the perfect condition in which it left the factory. Also, our close proximity to the client base allows us to significantly reduce the environmental impact of transport & shipping of products. Pelko plan all delivery routes maximising capacity to reduce its carbon footprint. This promotes fuel efficiency, emission reduction, and sustainability in our delivery process.
Pelko became officially certified by Ecomerit in July 2018. €coMerit is about empowering a business or organisation to become more sustainable.
