Sustainability and care for the environment are now fundamental parts of everyday life and growing concerns for the global community. At Encasement, we not only embrace these principles through the design and manufacture of our products but also in the way we do business to minimise our impact on the environment, wherever possible.
The responsibility for sourcing, managing and utilising sustainable products in the construction sector lies with everyone within the industry and to help that process we have compiled a range of information.

UKTR sustainability & compliance
Encasement is the leading manufacturer and supplier of pre-formed plywood pipe boxing and decorative casings. In the process of manufacturing our products, all timbers are legally & sustainably sourced and are compliant with the requirements of the latest UK Timber Regulations (UKTR).
UK government procurement guidance
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) publishes the ‘UK Government Timber Procurement Policy’ document.
Sustainable sourcing & procurement
Encasement has taken the time to fully understand the scope of the various pieces of legislation that govern the supply of timber used within our products to ensure that we comply with all the relevant codes.
Playing our part – climate change
More than two decades after the Kyoto Protocol set the framework to tackle climate change and global warming, the Paris climate conference (COP21) in December 2015 saw 195 countries agreeing to adopt the first-ever universal, legally binding global climate deal.

By specifying and installing Encasement products manufactured from UKTR compliant plywood, such as our column casings, pipe boxing and other decorative casing solutions, they can have a positive effect on improving the BREEAM rating.
Aluminium
It’s unsurprising that one of the most versatile and ‘eco-friendly’ materials available is also one of the most popular selected when specifying column casings from our Forma range.
