EGGER has reinforced its commitment to sustainability and circular wood use by ensuring that materials from its interzum 2025 exhibition stand were successfully reused and recycled following the event.
In collaboration with TRASH GALORE, the company gave approximately 12 tonnes of timber and OSB materials a second life. Part of the recovered material has been redirected to support social and cultural projects, while the remaining wood-based resources have been returned to particleboard production for further industrial use.
The initiative reflects EGGER’s ongoing focus on responsible resource management and sustainable manufacturing practices. By extending the lifecycle of exhibition materials, the company continues to promote circular economy principles within the wood-based materials industry.
Circular use of wood remains a central element of EGGER’s sustainability strategy, supporting reduced waste, improved material efficiency and lower environmental impact across its operations.
Sustainable business conduct is at the core of their corporate DNA. And this has been the case ever since 1961, because even back then, wood was far too valuable for the company founder Fritz Egger Sr. to simply throw it away. The founder has laid the foundation by processing wood waste into high-quality new products.
Working in closed cycles is still a core element of our business model today. EGGER gives the valuable resource wood many lives.
They embrace sustainable business practices in all their aspects and take equal responsibility for economic, ecological and social issues. EGGER is guided by clear, transparent facts and their desire to constantly improve – at all locations of their international corporate group.
The EGGER Group takes responsibility for its products, its production and also for its employees and society.
“Our sustainability management is based on a clear, Group-wide strategy. We are committed to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and have defined five strategic priorities based on them.”
They provide comprehensive insights into their objectives, measures and achievements. For them, sustainable action is by no means a mere duty. Rather, their central aspiration is management with future generations in mind.
