Plytech Green is a range of panels that was born out of our goal to provide a more sustainable product line for healthier homes and better living environments. While all our products are sustainable and certified, we are constantly searching for new sustainable solutions.
Natural renewable lignin is used as a replacement for traditional fossil phenol in Plytech Green panels. Lignin is a recyclable and ecologically friendly product, abundantly available in trees and plants. It is a wood component that gives plants shape and stability as a kind of connector, thus solidifying the cell wall.
Plytech Green consists of Latvian Birch plywood panels available with a range of timber veneer options like A-grade Birch, American White Oak, American White Walnut, as well as high-pressure laminates in a range of colours and wood textures.
Powered by Green
Plytech Green panels are manufactured using electricity produced from 100% renewable energy sources with official guarantees of origin.
