Hashtag Wood is a young company that deeply values sustainability and environmental responsibility in its production processes. We employ sustainable procedures and only use wood sourced from auctions held by the Romanian National Forestry Administration, Romsilva.
Romsilva is The Romanian National Forestry Administration that protects, preserves, and develops the forestry fund owned by Romania. Romsilva respects traceability regulations (FSC) and sustainable exploitation. We strive to reduce our ecological impact and promote long-term environmental stewardship.
We are in the process of obtaining our own FSC certification. We comply with the high FSC standards on the rules of traceability. Our agenda is busy and we plan to achieve the ISO 9001 (Quality Management System—our products meet customer requirements and comply with current regulations), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System—focused on environmental performance), and ISO45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System).
Our partnership with Romsilva reflects our commitment to responsible forestry operations for sustainable wood harvesting. Selective logging, reforestation, and protection of biodiversity are such operations. We prioritize the use of certified wood from Romsilva auctions, respectively from well-managed forests.
We know that incorporating recycling or reclaimed wood intro production lowers the demand for virgin timber. It also reduces waste. Our team works on running such sustainable procedures as well.
Throughout our manufacturing facility, we promote energy-efficient technologies and processes. We strive to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. We use energy-efficient lighting systems, machinery, and equipment to reduce our overall energy consumption.
Energy efficiency is important for our company. We have implemented energy management systems to monitor and improve energy usage throughout the manufacturing process. One of our plans is to turn to renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines to power factory operations.
At Hashtag Wood we implement water-saving measures such as reusing and recycling water in production. We install water-efficient equipment and fixtures to lower water consumption in wash stations, bathrooms, and other facilities. We also want to implement stormwater management practices to avoid pollution and reduce runoff from our premises.
We also run waste reduction strategies and recycling programs. We make sure that the waste from production processes is reduced. We recycle material, wood waste, packaging materials, and other recyclable materials that are generated during manufacturing.
We will invest in equipment such as wood chippers and biomass boilers to turn wood waste into usable products. Wood chips for landscaping or biomass fuel for energy generation are such products.
Our oak panel production processes are environmentally friendly. We use non-toxic adhesives and glues in panel manufacturing. This way, we don't use harmful off-gassing and the working environment is safe for our employees and end-users.
We are a young company, but we plan on investing in carbon offset projects. They will help us mitigate the carbon footprint. Reforestation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency projects are listed in our agenda for the near future.
Transportation efficiency plays an important part when it comes to reducing our carbon footprint. We improve our transportation routes and use fuel-efficient vehicles. It's how we reduce carbon emissions from transporting raw materials and finished products.
At Hashtag Wood, we manufacture hardwood panels of high quality. Our panels are strong and long-lasting and will not need replacing any time soon. Therefore, the overall environmental impact is greatly reduced.
We design products that will be easy to recycle at the end of their lifecycle. Our company promotes circularity and reduces waste that will end up in landfills.
At Hashtag Wood, we provide professional training and education programs for employees to spread awareness about eco-friendly practices. We want to encourage our employees to take part in sustainability actions. Our employee-led sustainability committee identifies and implements further opportunities to improve our factory's environment.
We prioritize our employees' well-being through fair wages, safe working conditions, and ongoing training. Development programs will take place as we are committed to social responsibility.
Hashtag Wood focuses on engaging with local communities and stakeholders. We foster positive and long-term relationships and aim for our operations to benefit the local area and community.
We include sustainable and environmental responsibility into our production process, we strongly believe that we can reduce our ecological footprint, meet the constant demand for environmentally friendly products, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
