Sustainable Ceiling Solutions: Uplifting Responsible Design

The environmental impact of our ceilings is as important to us as their creativity, variety, and quality. That is why we strive to ensure that our multi-material ceilings are increasingly durable, recyclable, and naturally sourced.

We’re on an ambitious journey to further advance our products’ sustainability performance, with the goal of net zero.

Natural Raw Materials

Our HERADESIGN® range is made from 100% natural, 100% recyclable materials: wood, magnesite, and water. The wood we use is responsibly sourced from PEFC- and/or FSC-certified (on demand) sustainable local forestry. We also optimise water use during production to preserve resources.

Our safe materials benefit everyone—from manufacturing and construction personnel to building staff and occupants.

Circular by origin, durable by design

Circularity has been part of DANOLINE's story from the beginning. What started as a practical way to make use of damaged plasterboards, has evolved into an ongoing commitment to durable design.

Gypsum is a recyclable material, and the gypsum core of our ceilings is made of 36% post-consumer recycled gypsum (ISO 14021), gathered and processed from Danish construction sites.

The composition and performance of gypsum remain stable over time, making it a highly durable material that can be recycled again and again.

The Beauty of Durability

Thanks to their outstanding performances, such as resistance to infectious agents, humidity, scratches, and ball impact, our ceiling materials protect occupants and offer long-lasting durability to save resources.

Recycling & Re-Use Projects

Our sustainability goals are not limited to production but encompass the entire product lifecycle. With recycling and re-use projects in Austria, France, and Germany leading the way, we are currently testing the most effective methods to further reduce our ecological footprint. Learnings will be instrumental to extend this practice to a growing number of countries.
