Notes to editors:
Accsys (Accsys Technologies PLC) is a fast-growing business with
a purpose: changing wood to change the world. The company combines
chemistry, technology and ingenuity to make Accoya wood and Tricoya
wood elements: high performance wood products that are extremely
durable and stable, opening new opportunities for the built
environment and giving the world a choice to build sustainably.
Accsys transforms fast-growing, certified sustainable wood into
building materials with an up to 50-year warranty, locking carbon
stored in the wood into useful products for decades, with
performance characteristics that match or better those of
non-renewable, resource-depleting and polluting alternatives.
Accsys is listed on the London Stock Exchange AIM market and on
Euronext Amsterdam, under the symbols 'AXS'. Visit
www.accsysplc.com
Accoya solid wood is sustainable, durable, and stable with
exceptional performance, finish and sustainability. Accsys'
proprietary acetylation process makes the wood more dimensionally
stable and because it is no longer easily digestible, extremely
durable. It is one of very few building materials to be Cradle to
Cradle Certified(TM) at the Gold level, with a Platinum rating for
Material Health, confirming that no harmful or toxic additives or
chemicals are present to leach out into the environment. Primary
applications for Accoya wood include windows, doors, cladding and
decking, where the combination of performance and sustainability
benefits compete favorably against hardwoods, plastics, metals and
concrete. Visit www.accoya.com
Tricoya acetylated wood elements are produced for use in the
fabrication of panel products such as medium density fibreboard
(MDF). Panel products made with Tricoya wood elements are truly
durable and stable enough for use outdoors and in wet environments,
unlocking new possibilities for design and construction. They have
been lauded as the first major innovation in the wood composites
industry in more than 30 years and bring the flexibility of
traditional panel products and sustainability benefits of wood to a
whole new range of applications. Visit www.tricoya.com
