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.
Bamboo plywood is a unique material constructed entirely of 100% FSC-certified layers of bamboo laminate.
Bamboo can be cut down to its roots and grows back extremely quickly. As a result, bamboo has a lower environmental impact than most types of wood.
PET felt is used for 70% made from recycled polyester (PET), such as PET bottles.
Due to the felt structure, these sheets lightweight but still stable. Designs made from this material are easy to recycle again.
BioPanel is a lightweight, durable and circular sheet material consisting entirely of biobased materials, such as hemp and PLA (lactic acid biopolymer).
BioPanel is produced under low temperatures, which minimizes energy consumption. It has a lifespan of at least 10 years, and is fully recyclable and biodegradable.
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.

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.
