Recycled wood: Pioneering sustainable timber solutions for a greener future
At Hupkes Wijma, we are working on sustainable practices on multiple fronts. Our passion for stewardship of our environment is reflected in two key areas: New timbers from sustainably managed forests as well as reclaimed timbers that are given a second life.
Sustainable choices: new & reclaimed timbers
By optimizing timber usage, minimizing waste, and offering both recycled and sustainably sourced new timber, we're working to promote wood as a preferred, environmentally responsible building material. Our dual focus allows us to reduce waste, address immediate sustainability concerns and support long-term forest management practices.
We supply the vast majority of our new timbers with a FSC 100% certificate and are also able to supply all of our recycled timber as FSC Recycled.
Why choose FSC recycled hardwoods?
Circular economy
By recycling wood, we contribute to an economy where precious raw materials are utilized rather than being wasted.
Carbon footprint reduction
Recycled wood requires less energy for transportation, lowering overall carbon emissions while preserving the carbon stored in the wood for multiple life cycles.
Waste reduction
Our approach minimizes waste, making effective use of materials already at our disposal.
Proven durability
These hardwoods have already demonstrated their longevity, making them ideal for new and long-lasting projects.
Unique character
Each piece of recycled wood tells its own story, offering unparalleled aesthetics and authenticity to any project.
Optimal material selection
We believe in using the right material for each application, balancing recycled and new timber. Our process begins with carefully selecting pre-used materials like mooring poles, fenders, deck boards, or sheet piles. While we prioritize recycled wood, we understand its limitations in yield, availability, and sizes. Our expertise lies in finding the perfect mix, often combining new and FSC recycled tropical hardwoods.
Production process
Through expert craftsmanship, we convert these materials into high-quality products that retain the unique characteristics of the first use. Our team ensures that each piece meets the highest market standards, blending innovation with decades of experience to achieve optimal performance, sustainability, and resource efficiency in every project
