As the inventor of high pressure laminate, Formica Group has always worked to provide innovative, high quality products. Efficient use of resources is at our core, and we have taken many steps to improve our environmental footprint - from reusing the water in our presses to incorporating recycled materials into our surfacing products.
As part of our new sustainability approach, Formica Asia will publish its environmental impact data every year, as well as our targets and initiatives for the coming year.
