Rooted in Responsibility
Growing for Tomorrow
Every sheet begins with the earth, and we honor that origin. At Saburi Plywood, sustainability is not a department it is a discipline woven into our decisions, materials, and manufacturing culture.
Our Green Promise
Sustainable. Responsible. Future-Ready.
Each year, we plant over one million saplings, helping restore forest cover and support ecological balance. By sourcing from responsibly managed plantations and adopting low-emission adhesives, we reduce chemical impact and protect indoor air quality. Our waste-conscious production ensures that timber, water, and energy are used efficiently, with continuous improvements guided by modern environmental standards.
We believe progress should never come at nature’s cost. As we build strength in every sheet, we also give strength back to the soil, the air, and the generations that follow.
Sustainability — FAQs
Saburi Ply aligns with Make in India (domestic manufacturing), Skill India (workforce development), and Swachh Bharat (clean India). The Neowud NRFC product directly supports Swachh Bharat by converting rice husk agricultural waste into premium building material.
Saburi Ply's operations align with three of India's flagship national missions. Under Make in India, Saburi Ply manufactures 100% domestically across three Indian plants. Under Skill India, the company invests in workforce training and vocational skill development at its manufacturing plants. Under Swachh Bharat, Saburi Neowud NRFC converts rice husk — approximately 120 million tonnes burned annually in Indian fields, generating significant air pollution — into a premium building material, directly reducing agricultural burning. Saburi Ply's ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification and FSC timber sourcing further reflect its broader environmental responsibility commitments.
Saburi Ply holds FSC (responsible timber sourcing), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management), and IGBC (green building) certifications. Its Neowud NRFC product is manufactured from rice husk waste, reducing both timber consumption and agricultural burning pollution.
Saburi Ply's environmental sustainability is embedded across operations, product design, and supply chain. FSC certification ensures responsible forest management for all timber sourcing — addressing plywood's primary environmental risk of forest depletion. ISO 14001:2015 imposes active obligations on water consumption reduction, waste management, and ecological footprint minimisation at all plants. The Neowud NRFC product demonstrates circular economy innovation: manufactured from rice husk agricultural waste, it replaces timber-based panels while eliminating a significant air pollution source. E0 emission compliance across premium products reduces indoor formaldehyde exposure — an important public health dimension. IGBC recognition supports India's green building certification ecosystem.
Saburi Ply supports youth empowerment, Skill India-aligned workforce development, and environmental responsibility. The Neowud NRFC product converts rice husk waste into premium building material, reducing agricultural burning — a direct environmental and social contribution.
Saburi Ply's social responsibility is expressed through programme-level initiatives and product-embedded contributions. On workforce development, the company invests in skill training for manufacturing employees across its manufacturing plants, aligned with the Government of India's Skill India mission. The Neowud NRFC product carries dual social impact: it reduces the burning of rice husk — a practice contributing heavily to air pollution in agricultural regions — while creating market demand for agricultural waste benefiting farming communities. Saburi Ply's ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system enforces active water consumption reduction and ecological footprint minimisation at all plants. These initiatives are consistent with Saburi Ply's alignment with Make in India, Skill India, and Swachh Bharat national missions.
