Sustainability
Abet Laminati has always been concerned about operating in full respect of the environmental. Even today, Abet Laminati continues to invest in a CSR policy oriented towards reducing environmental impact along the entire product life cycle.
The first step to start the production cycle is the selection of raw materials: paper and resin.
The first step to start the production cycle is the selection of raw materials: paper and resin. Our raw material, a very important element to guarantee the quality of the final product, is technically called cellulose fibre or, more simply, paper and represents 70% of our product. Our paper is certified according to international chain of custody schemes, which help take care of forests for future generations. In addition, in 2022 we increased the content of recycled cellulose fibres, which allows to propose our new product line Re-Abet laminate, with a recycled percentage content from 50% to 70%.
The resins used to produce our HPL laminates are compliant with safety requirements that meet international standards. We are actively involved in research to find solutions that allow us to drastically reduce the fossil component in our resins.
Sustainability is a long-term objective.
Choosing an Abet laminate means choosing a long-lasting product capable of resisting wear and one which responds in the best possible way to any context in which it is placed.
Abet laminates’ characteristics remain unchanged over time. For this reason, we believe an important environmental contribution stems from making quality, durable products.
A wide range of products, a large selection of Made in Italy decors and high quality raw materials. This is Abet Laminati’s recipe for a timeless product.
Choosing laminate means using renewable natural resources.
We like to think that the beautiful mountains that hide caves of precious marble, granite or travertine remain untouched and that the rainforests that preserve exotic woods remain unmolested. Therefore, we are committed to researching and creating a material that can go beyond the traditional, guaranteeing beauty and quality.
ISO 14001, ISO 9001 certifications

Indoor Advantage Gold certification assures that building material products support a healthy indoor environment by meeting strict indoor air quality (IAQ) chemical emission limits for volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
To be certified, products must be tested by independent labs for compliance with CDPH/EHLB Standard Method 01350 V1-2 for VOC emissions of concerns.
The EPD, or Environmental Product Declaration, is the most authoritative and recognised document for environmental information, validated and published by a third party body. For us, it is a distinctive element of transparency with our customers regarding resource management.
The LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) study is the foundation of the EPD. It is the tool used to calculate the potential environmental impacts generated during the life cycle of products, and then reported in the EPD.
Abet Laminati has obtained the EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) for Print HPL Thin (EPDITALY0064) and PRINT HPL Compact (EPDITALY0085).

Abet Laminati HPL (High Pressure decorative Laminate), made in Bra (CN, Italy), thanks to its properties may contribute to achieve credit points in LEED system.
