A renewable source, in place of fossil material

Our panels are built on LDPE, a polymer chosen for its flexibility, colour fidelity and ability to form highly realistic foliage. In standard ranges, that LDPE comes entirely from conventional fossil sources.

In Phyllon ranges, at least half of the LDPE is replaced with a certified bio-based grade raw material. The renewable content is drawn from a by-product of vegetable oil processing, a residue waste stream rather than a virgin crop, so it does not compete with food production or call for new cultivation.

How it reaches the panel

Verified by mass balance

Phyllon’s renewable content is certified through mass balance. Renewable and conventional feedstocks are processed together, and an independently audited record assigns the renewable volume we pay for to our material. It is the same certified accounting model used across sustainable supply chains, from renewable energy to food-grade ingredients.

Mass balance tracks renewable material by certified volume rather than by individual molecule, the same accounting principle used across certified sustainable supply chains.

The bio-based LDPE is ISCC Plus certified

The renewable content is certified under ISCC Plus, an international standard for sustainable and traceable materials. The certification is held by our material supplier and covers the chain of custody from feedstock through to the bio-based polymer we use. It is verified by an independent body rather than self-declared.
