Our Environmental Policy

At Period Mouldings, we’re deeply committed to reducing our carbon footprint. As part of this commitment, we’ve taken a wide range of actions to operate more sustainably:

• First, we source all our wood from FSC-certified timber suppliers.

• Additionally, we only use solid wood or wood laminates—never MDF.

• Before working with any supplier, we evaluate their practices to ensure they partner with sustainable wood mills.

• As a result, we recycle nearly all our waste, sending very little to landfill.

• Moreover, we collect wood shavings and dust, which other companies reuse for products like pet bedding or wood briquettes.

• If the material doesn’t meet those external standards, we create our own briquettes using an in-house machine.

• During the warmer months, we store wood offcuts and then burn them in winter to heat our workshop and dry our spray room.

• In terms of materials, we only use water-based paints to reduce environmental impact.

• Similarly, we choose low-impact glues for all bonding applications.

• After use, we send all empty paint tins to a metal recovery company for recycling.

• We also sort plastics and cardboard for pickup by our recycling partners.

• To reduce energy consumption, we’ve installed full LED lighting across all our locations.

• Looking ahead, we’re investing over £100,000 in the next two years to enhance our wood extraction, moulding, compression, and drying systems.

Altogether, these initiatives reflect our ongoing effort to act responsibly, reduce waste, and create a more sustainable future for our business and our planet.
