Certification
& LCA.

The complete certification and life-cycle dossier for our bamboo Decking and Façade Cladding. For anyone writing tenders, meeting sustainable-procurement requirements or pursuing GPR/BREEAM/LEED certification for a building.

Why this dossier exists

Tenders, sustainable procurement & verification.

More and more tenders require verifiable data on the origin, life cycle and environmental impact of building materials. We do our part — chain-traceable from plantation to project, with external certifications and a complete LCA work-up.

This page sets out the core overview for our most-specified outdoor products: Decking boards and Façade Cladding — both ranges (Nano + Thermo), all profiles. Full certificates and LCA PDF on request.

Carbon balance

Decking that stores more
CO₂ stores than it costs.

Bamboo grows up to a metre a day and stores a substantial amount of CO₂ in the culm during growth. For our Nano decking boards the cradle-to-gate balance is −4.2 kg CO₂-eq per m²: the growth phase removes more carbon from the atmosphere than production and transport add to it.

One hectare of bamboo plantation stores up to 60 tonnes of CO₂ per year — many times that of a comparable area of tropical broadleaf forest.

Methodology

How these figures were arrived at.

LCA calculations follow EN 15804+A2, with cradle-to-gate (A1–A3) as the base scope and cradle-to-grave (A1–C4) for the extended report. Comparison figures for alternative materials come from publicly available EPDs (National Environmental Database NL, EPD International EU) and are harmonised to the functional unit 1 m² · 25-year service life.

Carbon-storage figures refer to bio-based carbon stored in the bamboo product over its service life. Carbon re-released through incineration at end-of-life is accounted for under module C.
