We know that our customers are care deeply about the environment, for many of them this is the reason they keep their own poultry at home.
We also care and wherever possible build our chicken houses using materials that have been source to minimise their impact on the environment.
Our timber is largely source in Scandinavia from managed forests and the small amount of plywood we use comes from eastern Asia, again from managed forestry.
Our timber suppliers are committed to only supplying timber that is harvested legally without violating the rights of the indigenous population.
They are members of the PEFC who ensure and certify the sustainability of the timber supplied by their members. The timber we use is treated with Tanalith E , a waterborne product based on copper triazole technology. Copper is derived from recycled sources and triazoles are organic biodegradable biocides, commonly used to protect many of the food crops we eat. They may even help keep red mite away from our chicken coops
The plastic we use for our nest box lids is made from 100% recycled plastic. One of it’s main constituents is the plastic waste produced on farms that is used as bale wrapping and feed and fertiliser sacks.
The corroline roofing we use is a mixture of natural fibres and bitumen.
