Sustainable, renewable, recyclable and reusable. Highland Glasshouses are made from renewable wood raw materials, which help reduce use on fossil resources and offer sustainable choices. Our wood products store carbon as long as the products are used.

Wood is a renewable, recyclable and reusable material. Our products are produced from sustainably harvested wood. As trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon. Wood products function as carbon storage for as long as the product is used. 


PEFC Certification

As a PEFC certified product we have a chain of custody procedure which provides a mechenism for tracking PEFC certified materials from the forest, through manufacture to our finished Glasshouse product.

PEFC certification assurres that all our timber is sourced from a safe and sustainably managed forest. That the rights, safety and wellbeing of people working in the forestry as well as any land usage rights are respected.

Timber Trade Federation

The manufacturer of Highland Glasshouses are members of the Timber Trade Federation (TTF). The TTF is the largest representative body for the whole timber supply chain in the UK. The TTF support commitment to Environmental Due Diligence and compliance with the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR).  They also provides support to maintain the responsible purchasing of Wood products and further relates this back to sustainable construction.
The TTF runs the “Forests for ever” campaign launched in the early 1990’s which requires members approval of an sustainable code of Practice. TTF Code of Conduct sets out these principles by which all TTF Members agree to behave. This in turn sets out the high standards of professionalism and integrity they should apply to their business.
