We continuously aim at minimizing our environmental footprint by relentlessly
searching for other and better ways to
manufacture our products

Biofuel Cogeneration


Bi-silque's investment in industrial cogeneration results in the reduction of
our carbon footprint by converting biofuel waste into energy.

Energy generation

We incinerate around 250 tons (35%) of our wood production waste material.

Bio waste collection

We use a centralised cyclonic dust extraction system to collect the combustible wood waste throughout the production process.

Energy Use

The incinerator converts the biofuel into steam and heat which is used for kiln drying our timber, ISPM15 heat treating of pallets and heating plate presses on the factory floor.

750 MWh

The remainder (65%) is collected by various entities as a raw
material for their needs.

Renewable Energy


In 2013, Bi-silque started an ambitious 10-year project with the goal of using 20%
self-generated renewable energy. Currently we are at:

Raw Material Sourcing


Raw Material transportation causes pollution, we therefore try to source our raw materials
as close by to the factory as possible.
