At Mundy Veneer, we are committed to supporting sustainability, fair trade within our industry and the responsible use of this precious natural resource.

Veneer. A Smarter, Sustainable Choice

Only a fraction of wood in veneer form is needed to create furniture, cabinetry and panelling compared to solid wood. Just one cubic metre of felled wood yields 900m² of veneer in a typically 0.6mm thickness, 45 times more than solid planks.

Used with eco-friendly, recycled substrates, veneer is a highly cost effective use of a limited resource.

Only 3% of felled trees are suitable for veneer production, of which only 15% produce a grade of veneer suitable for our customers. That’s less than half a percent of total forest and woodland output.

A Renewable Resource

A totally natural product, wood is a renewable resource. It is recyclable, biodegradable, energy efficient and non-toxic. The natural growth cycle is a key element in absorbing CO² from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.

A holistic approach to forest management is key to ensuring this growth cycle continues. As trees are harvested, more are planted to ensure we can continue to benefit from the amazing properties of wood, without mitigating the vital contribution trees make to our planet.

Our Commitment to Responsible Sourcing

We only supply veneer from countries with environmental controls in operation. The bulk of our veneer is FSC® or PEFC certified with full Chain of Custody. Supply is monitored from source to end user so our customers can be assured that they come from forests managed to meet social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.

We conduct rigorous due diligence on each of the species we buy in accordance with UK Timber Regulations (UKTR). Each log has an individual ID and we are working towards geo-location practices to accurately pinpoint the location of individual trees.

Giving Back

We practice what we believe in. Since 2006 we have been planting trees to ensure wood is part of our grandchildren's and their grandchildren's lives.

Amongst the species planted are:

Apple, Ash, Beech, Cherry, Hawthorn, Hazel, Holm Oak, Maple, Oak, Rowan, Scots Pine, Sweet Chestnut.
