Sustainability by SUN WOOD
For the Love of Nature.
For the Love of Nature.
We design, to sustain.
Conscious handling of wood as a resource is not only natural for us at SUN WOOD; it also drives our innovative spirit and is the motivation for our existence. After all, we don’t want to do without exotic wood in the dining room but still want to protect the rain forest. We don’t want to install unique reclaimed wood in our four walls unless we can be sure that it is free of pollutants, toxic varnishes, pests, and worms and that no historic barn has had to make room for it. We make all this possible with SUN WOOD products!
According to the motto “we design to sustain,” we reproduce exotic and rare woods true to the original and in a sustainable manner on new, domestic wood. In doing so, we not only protect valuable originals but also score points with versatile advantages. Naturally, we count on valuable natural materials in the production of our products:
PEFC-certified wood from local forestry
The basis of SUN WOOD products is PEFC-certified wood that is obtained exclusively from sustainably managed forests in Central Europe. Sustainable management means not only that you don’t have more wood harvested than re-growing but also that the forest remains a safe habitat for animals and plants. In addition, we can ensure short transport routes thanks to the immediate proximity to our wood suppliers. In doing so, we make our contribution to an ecologically sustainable future and demonstrably prove this with the PEFC seal of approval.

GREENGUARD Gold-certified surfaces
Not only our carrier material meets the strictest environmental guidelines: Our SUN WOOD surfaces are certified as well! The printing ink by means of which we reproduce the look of original reclaimed and precious wood conforms to the GREENGUARD Gold certificate and thus meets strict requirements for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxicity. In addition, they are checked for various chemicals and thus can also be used in especially sensitive environments such as schools, kindergartens, or health facilities.

Made in Austria
As an Austrian family business, we are particularly proud that all SUN WOOD products are manufactured at our company location in the State of Salzburg. The loving craftsmanship of our employees is in every single product, so every panel, every board, or every table is unique. In the process, we place the highest priority on the satisfaction of our customers and subject all products to a detailed quality check prior to shipping.
100% renewable energy – electricity from our own production
We have managed to get one step closer to our sustainability goals by producing our own electricity. With an impressive annual production volume of 500,000 kWh, the company not only contributes to reducing its carbon footprint, but also saves on energy costs. This initiative underlines the company’s commitment to environmentally friendly practices and sustainable development.
We make effective use of the electricity we generate ourselves: We operate three publicly accessible charging stations for electric cars and two charging stations for e-bikes at our company site in St. Martin. Furthermore, 50% of our company fleet consists of electric vehicles, which are also powered by our own electricity.
