Sustainability

Life. Living. Livelihood

Millboard’s approach to sustainability is built around people, products, and the environments they are designed to be part of.

As Millboard’s independent authorized distributor in Canada, ABM Canada is proud to share the work Millboard is doing to reduce environmental impact, support responsible practices, and create long-lasting outdoor products with beauty and purpose.

Millboard’s sustainability commitments are organized around four connected areas: Life, Living, Livelihood, and Products.

LIFE

Millboard recognizes the importance of protecting natural environments for future generations. From using recycled materials to reducing waste and supporting responsible environmental practices, Millboard continues to make sustainability part of how its products are developed, manufactured, and improved. Its decking and cladding are designed to offer the warmth and beauty of timber without relying on traditional wood boards, helping create long-lasting outdoor spaces with a lower-maintenance approach.

Virgin Materials

Millboard products are designed to reduce reliance on traditional timber while still capturing the natural look and feel of real wood. By recreating the character of timber through carefully moulded surfaces and advanced materials, Millboard offers an alternative for outdoor projects where beauty, performance, and longevity all matter.

Recycled Material

Millboard continues to incorporate recycled materials into its products and processes wherever possible. This includes working to reduce waste, improve material efficiency, and use resources more responsibly across the manufacturing process.

Environmental Protection

Millboard’s products are created for outdoor spaces, so care for the natural environment is a key part of its wider sustainability commitments. By designing long-lasting products that require less ongoing maintenance than timber, Millboard helps reduce the need for repeated treatments, replacements, and refinishing over time.
