Production and
Circular Economy
At Fornaci Zulian, every day we choose to organize the way we work to create as little environmental impact as possible. Our kiln is fueled by biomass: refined wood dust from furniture industry residues, which is carefully selected and used as a sustainable fuel. This approach allows us to turn what would otherwise be waste into a valuable resource, thus contributing to a true circular economy.
More than 30,000 tons of wood dust each year is converted back to fuel at our Fontaniva plant.
From rejection
a resource
The use of biomass is a pillar of sustainability for us. Thanks to a bi-fuel kiln, we can operate with 100 percent wood dust meticulously processed to meet our strict quality standards. With this system, we reduce the carbon footprint of our products and promote a cleaner environment. Reusing wood waste means giving new life to production residues, reducing the need for fossil fuels and enhancing existing resources.
Adopting lean principles allows us to reduce supply chains, minimize waste and optimize each production stage. To manage the balance between supply and demand in the market, we have developed a biomass storage and refining platform. This allows us to ensure a consistent, high-quality supply without compromising process efficiency and continuity.
