Sustainable Wood Pellets at SDL
Fuelling a Greener Future
At SDL we’re committed to sustainable heating solutions and believe in sustainable wood pellets. We source our wood locally from British forests, use EN Plus A1 certified pellets for clean burning, and minimise our carbon footprint through efficient production and sustainable packaging. Choosing our wood pellets reduces your environmental impact and supports local communities.
Why Choose SDL Pellets?
At SDL Pellets, we’re passionate about producing sustainable wood pellets as a heating solution for your home or business as well as providing excellent horse bedding, that is environmentally friendly. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just selling wood pellets – it’s woven into every aspect of our business.
Being a vertically aligned business means we control every stage of the process from the forest to the future. But why does this matter? Every aspect of the business is tracked, analysed and optimised. This covers everything from the tree harvesting, to delivering to having our sustainable wood pellets delivered to your door. As we handle the whole process, it also means minimal handling of the wood pellets. The more the pellets are handled, the more their structural integrity is impacted, and in turn, the more dust you get. In short, the less handling, the better!
Sustainable Wood Pellets – What Sets Ours Apart?
EN Plus A1 Certified Wood Pellets
Our wood pellets meet the highest quality standards in the industry, all being En Plus A1 certified. This certification guarantees that our wood pellets have a clean and efficient burn that reduces emissions. We guarantee the minimum BTU calorific output is 4.8 kWh and have independent test results to confirm these figures as well as our own internal 8 step wood pellet inspection process. To read more about why this is important, see our blog about why En Plus A1 is the gold standard sustainable wood pellets.
How We Reduce Our Carbon Footprint
Choosing wood pellets over fossil fuels significantly reduces your carbon footprint, helping to combat climate change. We are also a vertically integrated company managing all aspects of the process from harvesting to replanting. Having our own haulage fleet helps us minimise the transportation of timber and products directly from the source to the end user. This also helps keep the structural integrity of our wood pellets and minimise the dust content, improving the burn rate, therefore improving the efficiency and quality of the product in addition to being better for your auger.
Our Efficient Pellet Production
Our wood pellet production plant is powered using renewable energy produced by our own CHP Biomass boiler. This is powered with byproduct from the site clearance and harvesting work that SDL Solutions undertake. Our production process is designed to minimise waste and energy consumption, further reducing our environmental impact. Any additional energy that’s produced that we don’t use is put back into the national grid supporting a greener future.
Sustainable Packaging
All of the materials we use in our production process are 100% recyclable. From the wooden pallets, to the bags that our sustainable wood pellets are wrapped in. Looking ahead, having packaging that can be recycled is a key driver for a sustainable future.
How We Focus On Community Engagement
We actively engage with our local community to promote sustainable practices and raise awareness about the benefits of renewable energy. Part of understanding the impact of our energy usage, comes from understanding what it all means. As well as our community engagement, our regular blogs and social posts aim to help educate and inform the community.
