Sustainability is a growing consideration in today’s construction industry. Companies are expected to meet environmental regulations, demonstrate corporate responsibility, and incorporate greener practices into their planning, procurement, and site operations.
So, where do timber bog mats fit into this equation? By choosing sustainably sourced ground protection solutions, such as our FSC certified Ekki bog mats, you help lower your carbon footprint and contribute to more environmentally friendly circular practices that prioritise reuse, recycling, and ethical resource management.
If you’re looking to strengthen your corporate and project sustainability, our Ekki hardwood bog mats can help in several impactful ways:
Minimising damage to the environment you’re working in is a priority. While full access and operational viability are critical, you also need to be confident that you are protecting the soil and ecosystem in your location to the highest degree.
Hardwood bog mats offer the perfect combination of strength and stability needed to complete the job while also providing comprehensive protection. So, you can avoid harmful ground compaction, soil erosion or costly restoration fines.
Ekki hardwood mats are not only extremely strong but also have a long service life, which can be up to approximately 50 years. As they outperform many less robust timbers and synthetic alternatives, there is far less waste and material use. They are also biodegradable and recyclable. Our bog mats are turned into biomass fuel at the end of their long lifespans.
We source all our bog mats from FSC-certified forests around the world. The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) ensure that their timber is sustainably and ethically grown, managed, and harvested. This results in the highest quality, most hard-wearing wood that lasts for decades and also promotes greener forestry practices, workers’ rights, biodiversity, and a more sustainable global supply chain.
A simple switch to our sustainably sourced, natural, durable, and recyclable hardwood mats is an ideal way to support your corporate environmental goals. This doesn’t just apply to the construction and civil engineering industry, but can also help other sectors such as utilities, infrastructure, and forestry to fulfil green targets and ensure environmental compliance.
