The Planting programme With growing environmental concern worldwide, GoldenEdge board is viewed favourably as a substitute for tropical hardwoods which take 200 years to reach maturity. In contrast, plantation Radiata pine is a renewable resource, reaching maturity in about 25 years. As a company we go the extra distance to ensure the production process does not in any way harm our beautiful region. All dust is contained from the moment logs are delivered at the chipmill through to the final sanding process.
Water use is minimised.
All water leaving the site through stormwater or sewage systems has already been screened and treated to minimise effluent. Insulation has been installed to minimise noise. Site borders are planted with attractive trees to screen the plant from roadside and neighbours. Our Resource Consent to discharge to air sets rigorous limits on the amount of dust and formaldehyde discharged from the plant. Regular independent tests show we operate well within, and in many cases significantly lower than, these limits.
