The sustainable solution for everyone who loves wood!

Focus on environmentally conscious business

All Rubio employees breathe wood. With the Rubio Monocoat product range, they try to protect this beautiful product as beautifully and well as possible, in all its shades. But they also do so to significantly extend the life of the material, with an emphasis on maintaining the natural look and feel. In doing so, they have two mainstays: quality and durability.

The oils contain 0% volatile organic compounds and 0% water and/or solvents. This makes them not only safe to use, but also safe for the environment.

'If you do it right, it will last forever'. This famous quote by designer Massimo Vignelli absolutely applies to Rubio Monocoat. "We go for sustainability in all its facets," emphasizes Sjoerd Bos, Sales Manager at Rubio Monocoat Netherlands. "This manifests itself not only in the use of natural and renewable raw materials, but also in the continuous optimization of our production processes, continuous attention to the impact of our products on users and the environment and strict compliance with all regulations in the field of waste management and energy consumption. Rubio Monocoat has been the reference when it comes to high-quality and natural wood protection for eighteen years. Our Eco-
Conscious story makes this clearly visible to our customers."

Rubio EcoConscious

The EcoConscious story describes all of Rubio Monocoat's steps from sustainable raw material to recycled packaging. "Everything starts with linseed as the sustainable base for our oils," Bos said. "Upon application, the oils instantly form molecular bonds with the wood fibers in the surface, staining and protecting the wood in just one coat. This results in extremely low consumption per square meter, eliminating the need for us to work with a mass production site. In addition, we need to send fewer packages per project as well as fewer transports, resulting in significantly lower CO2 emissions. In practice, our oils contain 0% volatile organic compounds and 0% water and/or solvents. This makes them not only safe to use, but also safe for the environment. And is the product used up? Then the packaging is easily and completely recyclable."

Many certificates and labels

"Our focus on sustainable and environmentally conscious business practices can not only be substantiated by our EcoConscious story, but is also confirmed by the many certificates and labels that have already been awarded to our products by various independent, international institutions," said Bos. "For example, our environmentally friendly linseed-based oil received an LCA from VITO and a B-EPD from the FPS Public Health, among others. Rubio Monocoat was also the first in the wood treatment sector to achieve the 'Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold' label. Importantly, for example, Oil Plus 2C meets the toy standard EN 71-3 and the oil is Food Contact Compliant." 

With Oil Plus 2C, Rubio Monocoat was also the first and only wood oil producer in the world to receive the prestigious GREENGUARD GOLD certificate early this year.

Second life for furniture and kitchens

Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C is one of the most versatile wood oils on the market and excellent for renovating wood floors, stairs, furniture and kitchens. "Our oils give wooden products a sustainable second life," says Bos, who cites furniture renovation as an example. "Every year, the Netherlands collects some 500,000,000 kilos of bulky household waste. A large part of this involves discarded furniture, of which approximately 90% is burned or ends up in landfills. In doing so, valuable raw materials are lost. This is not only an incredible waste, but in most cases absolutely unnecessary. For example, does an old piece of brown furniture not suit your taste or style of living (anymore), but is the base still good? Does your product have special (emotional) value? Or do you just find it super practical? With our oils you can give any piece of wooden furniture the right look and feel in no time. The same goes for kitchen cabinets, kitchen worktops and/or table tops, for example, which no longer need to be thrown away. Because in most cases the renovation can be done yourself, the costs are minimal."

Renovation of stairs and floors

In addition to furniture and kitchens, Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C can also be used perfectly for renovating stairs and floors. "Wooden floors are often an investment for life," Bos knows. "And although they fit into any interior, you may still get tired of them. Were you going for dark oak, but are now more enamored with a graying or white tone? Or do you want to go from light to dark? No problem with Rubio Monocoat products! We have been the king of colors since 2005, for every application and for every type of wood. In addition to 40 standard colors, our range also includes 13 trend colors, from subtle to pronounced, with which every living wish can be fulfilled sustainably, quickly and cost-efficiently. Also on the stairs, eliminating the need to invest in, for example, PVC, vinyl, laminate or other artificial and environmentally damaging additives. With this, we offer the sustainable solution for everyone who loves wood!"
