Responsibility
Health as a product promise.
Who takes from nature must give her something back. Therefore Kaindl contributes issues of sustainability and environmental protection as a special responsibility. As one of the first companies in the wood-processing industry Kaindl has geared all divisions along ecological lines. This begins with the selection of materials that come from sustainable, local forestry and also concludes the environmentally safe production, and finally ends with an efficient and resource-friendly transport system.
Kaindl is also the first laminate and wood flooring manufacturer in the world which met the requirements for "Greenguard Indoor Air Quality for Children and School"-Label. This label guarantees the high quality of the air in your rooms.

Disposal
Naturally perfect disposal.
90% of the content in Kaindl flooring and wood-based materials is wood. They do not qualify as hazardous waste and their disposal is therefore unproblematic as regards both energy and materials, even years later. And that is not all: more than 86% of our flooring material is recycled and used for producing chipboard and fibreboard - a prime example of modern recycling.
