Wood recycling through Wood Loop

The Netherlands aims to be fully circular by 2050. In order to achieve that goal, we already need to use 50% fewer primary raw materials by 2030. At Cialona, we take this ambition seriously and are also very concerned with doing business more sustainably. Not only do we make impressive exhibition stands, but we also do so in the most sustainable way possible.

So Cialona’s commitment to innovation and sustainability has led us to a great new partnership with Wood Loop Foundation.

This collaboration brings us closer to a circular future while providing our customers with environmentally friendly stand construction solutions.

What is Wood Loop?

The foundation is an initiative of Royal CBM, Baars & Bloemhoff and Unilin Panels. This organization makes it possible for wood processors to recycle chipboard, MDF and other wood in an efficient and sustainable way.

We now separate the waste wood ourselves in the special crates, which are scattered throughout our workshop. Thanks to Wood Loop’s efficient collection and return logistics, we can contribute to a circular industry.

Cialona's contribution to a circular industry

At Cialona, we carefully separate our waste wood in Wood Loop’s special crates. This process begins as early as our workshop, where we keep chipboard, MDF and other AB wood separate.

The greatest gains can be made with clean collection says Wood Loop, and we are happy to contribute to that.

In the crates they provide, we can properly separate chipboard as well as MDF and other AB wood.

By separating wood species directly at the source, we increase the quality of the recyclable material. The result? A greater proportion of wood residues can be reused as high-quality board material.

Moreover, this contributes to fewer transport movements in the recycling cycle, further reducing CO2 emissions.

Understanding impact through the dashboard

Wood Loop’s dashboard gives us full insight into our wood residuals and allows us to accurately track our circular performance.

When a wood crate is full with us, we simply scan the QR code through the dashboard. The return notification is then picked up by an affiliated wood supplier, who exchanges the full crate for an empty one.

with this system, we can not only better manage our wood residues, but also make our sustainable performance measurable. For example, thanks to Wood Loop, we have already made a significant contribution to saving millions of kilograms of CO2 emissions.

Working together for a more sustainable future

We are proud of our contribution to the circular economy. Collaborations with innovative parties such as the Wood Loop Foundation allow us to not only make our own processes more sustainable, but also make a positive impact on the entire stand construction industry.

At Cialona, we continue to build a greener world together, one booth at a time.
