Sustainability
Sustainability is an important topic for Lasersheets. We believe in combining innovative production (e.g. laser cutting) with responsible materials, to create more environmentally conscious products.
Creating new products and objects will always have an environmental impact. But laser cutting makes it possible to make exactly as much as is needed. This means there is less overproduction, which reduces the burden on the environment.
Fortunately, there are now aesthetically pleasing and durable materials available in the market that unquestionably represent a more sustainable choice. We take pride in featuring a range of FSC® certified wood species in our selection. Additionally, we offer recycled materials within our plastics category. The market for sustainable materials is currently undergoing significant development, and we rigorously test everything that can be laser cut to provide you with the finest materials available!
This birch plywood comes from sustainably managed forests in Scandinavia. Read more about FSC® and how it benefits you here.
Our best-selling birch wood thicknesses, namely 3mm and 6mm, are FSC® mix credit certified.
Our most commonly used thicknesses, namely 3 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm and 9 mm, are FSC® mix 70% certified.
This way you can be sure that the wood comes from sustainably managed forests and that it is made into laserable sheets under good working conditions.
Bamboe multiplex is een uniek materiaal, volledig opgebouwd uit 100% FSC-gecertificeerde lagen bamboelaminaat.
Bamboe kan tot aan de wortels worden gekapt en groeit bijzonder snel terug. Hierdoor heeft bamboe een lagere milieu-impact dan de meeste houtsoorten.
PET-vilt wordt voor 70% gemaakt uit gerecycled polyester (PET), zoals PET-flessen.
Door de vilt-structuur zijn deze platen licht in gewicht, maar alsnog stabiel. Ontwerpen uit dit materiaal zijn goed opnieuw te recyclen.
BioPanel is een lichtgewicht, duurzaam en circulair plaatmateriaal dat volledig bestaat uit biobased materialen, zoals hennep en PLA (melkzuurbiopolymeer).
BioPanel wordt geproduceerd onder lage temperaturen, waardoor het energieverbruik minimaal is. Het heeft een levensduur van minimaal 10 jaar, en is volledig recyclebaar en biodegradeerbaar.
Green Cast® is 100% recycled cast acrylic from the supplier Madreperla.
Green Cast® is the most environmentally friendly and especially green choice in the acrylic world.
The recycled acrylic known as Green Cast® is basically crystal clear, colorless sheet material. In addition, the material is always colourfast and UV-resistant.
The big advantage of this material is that it can be recycled infinitely without loss of quality. This means that the material can be very well reused.
It is a completely circular material.
You can recognize the Green Cast® acrylics by the logo on the product page.

ASTARIGLAS® ECO CAST is a recycled and recyclable type of acrylic.
As raw material, depolymerised-MMA (DMMA) with a very high degree of purity (≥ 99%) is used, exclusively produced in Astariglas' own factory, to produce high-quality recycled and recyclable cast acrylic sheets with the same quality as cast acrylic sheets made from new MMA.
