Orbit's panels are FSC certified and stronger with 80% less wood
Although Orbit is made of a lightweight cardboard, which contains much less wood, the strength of the coffin is fully on par with a traditional standard wooden coffin. In fact, it is stronger.
Pressure tests at the Danish Technological Institute have shown that the coffin lid can withstand even greater pressure. The requirement is 1100 N and Orbit can withstand up to 1601 N. Find all the test results on orbitnordic.com.
The FSC-certified panels of the coffin consist of 80% less wood than MDF and chipboard, which are historically the most widely used materials. We are, therefore, content to just use 20% of the trees in the forest.
Why is the FSC certification of the panels important?
In an FSC forest, no more trees are felled than the forest can reproduce. At the same time, the FSC guarantees that wildlife and flora are protected and that the people working in the forest are trained and receive proper safety equipment and pay. A strict international control system lies behind the FSC label.
Through the FSC system, the wood must be traceable back to the forest areas where it originated from - no matter how many links there are between the forest and the store where it is sold.
The panels which Orbit is made of are FSC certified and originate from sustainable forestry in the Nordic countries. The panels are manufactured at an FSC certified paper mill in Sweden and delivered by an FSC certified distributor.
