It’s not just what we do, it’s who we are
We are dedicated to paving the way as market leaders in sustainability. Our initiatives focus on protecting our planet for future generations, utilising eco-friendly materials, and ensuring our practices minimise environmental impact.
In a landscape where greenwashing is so prevalent and ‘eco-friendly’ buzzwords are used without genuine commitment, BiForm stands apart. We take pride in our authentic dedication to sustainability, constantly striving to create a greener, more sustainable future…we really are here to make a difference.
BiForm Solid Composite Decking is our sustainability showpiece, formulated by two key, environmentally friendly components
One 40m2 Composite Deck
=
14,063 plastic bottles recycled
+
One 10m tree worth of FSC® Certified Timber.
What is the FSC® and why have we aligned with them?
The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), is a global organisation dedicated to promoting responsible forest management. By adhering to rigorous environmental, social, and economic standards, the FSC® ensures that forests are sustainably managed and preserved for future generations.
At BiForm, we are committed to sustainability and ethical practices. By using FSC® Certified timber in our composite decking, we align with their mission to protect and sustain our planet's forests while supporting environmental conservation, social equity, and economic viability.
Like much of the composite decking industry, we previously chose to use recycled timber in our boards. However, without knowing the source of the recycled timber, we realised that FSC® Certified timber offers a much more sustainable option. The timber used in our boards is helping to reduce deforestation, protecting our planet and animal species, and respecting community rights.
Choosing FSC® Certified timber reflects our dedication to creating high-quality, eco-friendly products while contributing positively to the environment and the communities involved in forestry.
We are proud to hold Red-List Free Certification, awarded by the International Living Future Institute. This globally recognised certification proves that our composite decking is free from any harmful, toxic chemicals, ensuring that is it safe for families and the environment.
Declare is recognised in the current Design & As Built tool, Credit 21 Sustainable Products, as a level B Eco label.
When the new Greenstar tool , Greenstar Buildings, is launched Red list free and Red list approved Declare labels will be valued at 8 points in all 4 'Responsible' materials categories of the Responsible Products Framework Calculator; Structure, Envelope, Systems and Finishes. To ensure consistency across the tools, Declare will also be accepted in the Homestar V5 EN3 Sustainable Materials credit.
Trees That Count is a New Zealand-based reforestation initiative that BiForm has supported since 2021. By supporting native tree planting, we play an important role in reducing net CO2 emissions, strengthening New Zealand’s biodiversity, and helping communities thrive for decades to come.
So far, BiForm has funded the planting of over 830 native New Zealand trees, which will help remove around 190 tonnes of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere over the next 50 years. Weve even rolled up our sleeves and got our hands dirty planting native trees in projects we have funded around the country!
We were lucky enough to be chosen as a decking board supplier for many walkways and tracks as a part of the Auckland Council’s Kauri Dieback Programme. The project tackled the enormous task of protecting our native Kauri from the lethal dieback disease.
By lifting the walkways up off the ground, protecting the roots of the trees, the risk of walkers spreading the disease was mitigated. Thanks to the sustainable nature of our board, BiForm Solid Composite Decking was the material of choice for walkways across Auckland including the Hillary Trail, Maungaroa Lookout and the Fairy Falls. We are honoured to be apart of this program and the protection of our beautiful native Kauri.
Our orders are dispatched with a return courier label, facilitating the return of packaging materials. These materials are then either reused or recycled, significantly reducing the environmental impact and preventing waste from ending up in landfills.
Every decking project benefits from a bespoke layout design service. This offering optimises board usage, reduces waste on-site and helps to prevent offcuts being unnecessarily thrown in waste skips!
