BAUX products are produced and manufactured in Sweden. However, we have established local factories in USA and Australia to shorten lead times and reduce transportation emissions. As a product-based company, manufacturing will always play a significant role in our total CO2 emissions. Today, 75% of our factories run on renewable energy. We aim to increase this number to 100% in the next five years.
Having local factories reduces our total CO2 emissions and leads to less emissions incurred from transportation of products to our customers.
All factories, besides our factory in the USA, run on 100% renewable energy.
The factory in the USA is run on natural gas. Our ambition is to move away from the usage of natural gas as soon as an alternative is practical.
The Australian factory is already compensating for their emissions, which is the reason behind their low CO2 value.
When shipping our products around the world, we use pallets. Per 1 square meter of produced product, we have to take the pallets into consideration. The pallets add a total of 0.01 kg of CO2 per m2 of product, which is a relatively small emission.
Sending out samples stands for 0,01 %of our total emissions. We do not want to send fewer samples since they are important for our customers. Instead we ensure that all samples are long lasting, reusable and sustainable.
BAUX wood fibres are FSC® and PEFCTM certified –– guaranteeing that they can be traced back to responsible forestry operations. The wood is collected from the Swedish forest in the direct surroundings of the factory in order to minimise negative CO2 emissions caused by longer transport distances. The small amount of wood waste that is generated as a result of production is taken care of—80% is used to heat the factory and drying plant. No waste is produced from the timber log.

This means that we have a 70% reduction from the total CO2 that stem from the Wood Wool cement production.
The manufacturing process is 100% sustainable and highly technological. The cellulose mix is formed inside a 3D mould with a powerful vacuum method and dried under high pressure. The surface is nano-perforated using an advanced laser technique. All material waste is recycled back into the production process and re-used again. All water used is built into a closed circular system and recycled. The only emission from production is a tiny amount of pure and clean water vapour that is released as the material dries.
From factories to the end client, including samples and the final product.
We aim to produce as few emissions as possible during the transportation of products.
We transport products to clients on the ground by truck, and rarely use air transportation.

Recycling PET involves multiple stages, making it challenging to provide an exact CO2 emissions value throughout the supply chain. Studies have estimated that recycling PET can save around 30-60% of CO2 emissions compared to producing virgin PET. This reduction is primarily due to the avoidance of extracting and processing new fossil fuel resources, as well as the energy savings during the recycling process. To calculate a fair number of our Co2 for Felt – Recycled PET, we have used an average of the kg CO2e per m2 of Wood Wool & Pulp.
