The month of September heralds the start of the academic year for students... and their professors. We recently organised a ‘Train the Trainer’ programme for technical education teachers at our training centre The Dive. The course was taught by our experts and focused on maintenance techniques, different responsibilities within a technical department and various working methods. What’s more, the teachers were given the opportunity to gain practical experience on the production floor. The course members came away with fresh insights and concrete learning tools to build their lessons around. We are proud to contribute to the education of the technicians of tomorrow.

Our CEO, Wim Messiaen, initiated their journey with an inspiring introduction about our purpose and values, followed by an engaging Q&A session. We offer these young talents an environment where they can learn, discover, and grow, while their fresh perspectives will help us stay at the forefront of innovation. Developing talent is one of the key drivers of our success. We're excited to see what these new team members will bring to the future of Unilin. Welcome to all of you!

How are we putting our baseline ‘Better spaces. Better life.’ into practice? We recovered the exhibited floors from the Flanders Flooring Days to refurbish some classrooms at this school. With our products, we help to create an enjoyable learning environment for students. Have fun learning this school year!
From the spotlight at Flanders Flooring Days to Leefschool De Boomhut in De Pinte – our floors are on the move! Quick to remove, ready to reuse. Bringing happiness to classrooms, here’s to a school year filled with joy, creativity, and new beginnings for all the little ones! ✨ #SustainableFloors #FloorRenovation

Improving the recyclability of our products is important, but if we want to make sure that they are effectively recycled, we need to ensure that they are retrieved end-of-life. Over the last several years, we organised multiple successful take-back programs with our partners and clients for chipboards, MDF boards, vinyl floors and PIR insulation boards. And we keep expanding our ‘Recover’ program in all product categories.

At Unilin, we recycle wood until it can't be recycled anymore. But, even then, we have a sustainable solution: non-recyclable wood is converted into sustainable energy in our own sustainable-energy powerplants which we run together with Aspiravi.

What do we do with wood, why do we want to recycle as much of it as possible, and how do we go about it? Three questions on how we handle our most important raw material.

The wood in our chipboards is already made up of 95% recycled wood. And we are able to recycle those chipboards ourselves again. This way, we close the loop, says Caroline Van de Populiere.
