For sustainable tourism, SETTING THE STANDARD IN OUTDOOR LIVING

Our DNA has been enshrined in our communications policy since 2010. We manufacture according to the 3 main benchmarks of this commitment: responsibility, innovation and the environment. We operate on a European scale, while maintaining a presence in strategic areas of the hotel and catering industry. Our 850 men and women work in a healthy, safe and sustainable environment.

We control product design and production, mindful of its life cycle and striving to reduce our carbon footprint by choosing reasoned and healthy materials. By taking into account the safety of our end customer and by extension their holiday environment. Finally, we are committed to the future of our industry, by adapting our offer year after year to the challenges of climate change, through bold ecological concepts and committed collaboration with experts in sustainable tourism.

Commitment

BIO HABITAT’s social responsibility policy

Respect for the Environment is our future. Over 25 years ago we made a choice to protect it, by using a clean and high-quality material: wood.

Our mobile homes are made of 88% timber sourced from sustainably managed forests. In the same spirit, we select all of our suppliers on the basis of their commitment to the environment and sustainable management of resources. All of our suppliers also sign the sustainable procurement charter. The purpose of this charter is to forge sustainable and balanced relationships between customers and suppliers, based on mutual trust.

Nature

Landscape integration

Our ethos: limiting the visual impact of the mobile homes on their environment.

We want them to blend into their natural surroundings, as if they have always been there. The positioning of mobile homes on the pitches, the design of our products and the diversity of our cladding options lay the groundwork for subtle landscape integration, respecting both French regulations (Article 35 of the law of 12/07/2010) and the environment.

Innovation

Environmentally-friendly product lifecycle

Committed to sustainable development practises, we oversee every stage in the life of our mobile homes.

Therefore, all of our products are recyclable and feature the latest advances in eco-design to reduce their environmental impact throughout their lifecycle.

All of our mobile homes are 100% recyclable

engagement

Construction

We consider the environment throughout the manufacturing process...

In our factories, environmental policy is based on 2 major areas:

Minimising the impact of our activities on our environment by recovering waste from our 7 manufacturing sites. On average, almost 457.5kg of non-hazardous waste per mobile home was recovered in 2023. Reducing our CO² emissions. By choosing low-solvent adhesives that respect our industrial constraints.

Controlling and significantly reducing our energy consumption. In 2023, we reduced our gas consumption by 21% and our electricity consumption by 10% compared with 2022. This is thanks to our 100% LED programme and the installation of sub-meters, which have enabled us to significantly reduce our electricity consumption. Our water consumption has remained stable, representing just 0.09% of water consumption over the entire life cycle of the mobile home. Each year, the targets for our sites are re-evaluated to ensure that we continue the efforts we have already made while complying with the regulatory requirements applicable to our sites and activities.

Local

Reducing our carbon footprint

BIO HABITAT has developed a unique strategy in the mobile home market: to be as close as possible to its customers.

This strategy encourages local production and the development of employment areas around our sites, and helps to control and optimise the number of kilometres travelled. Our hauliers are our allies in the quest for low-carbon transport. 303 is the average number of kilometres travelled by a mobile home manufactured by BIO HABITAT. This distance is optimised thanks to our 7 sites, which are ideally located. Since September 2023, we have been working with one of our transport partners to promote the use of lorries running on biofuel made from French rapeseed, in the interests of greener transport.

Certified

A safe environment

For the safety of our users, all of our models are tested according to EN 1647 standards, drawn up by the CEN (European Committee for Standardisation), on an annual basis.

This stringent approach is unique on the mobile home market. Structure, dimensions, durability, doors and windows, emergency exits, layout... all key elements are tested against the specifications. These tests are conducted by Bureau Véritas, which then issues a certificate of compliance for each model.

100% of our mobile homes are EN1647 certified by independent body Bureau Véritas

Recyclable

REASONED, HEALTHIER MATERIALS

Our mobile home manufacturing process is inspired by the DTU 31.2 standards for the construction of timber-framed houses and buildings.

For the safety of our users, we favour the use of recycled and recyclable materials. We also choose materials with a low environmental impact, such as wood from sustainably managed forests, A+ rated phthalate free lino, hypoallergenic Oeko Tex certified mattresses, energy efficient appliances and BIOFIB plant-based insulation.

Savings

Reducing energy consumption

Our product policy commits to reducing water and electricity consumption, thus reducing the risk of overconsumption by the users.

Designed with energy efficiency in mind, our mobile homes are fitted with 7l/min flow limiters on sink and basin mixers, 3/6l dual flow flushes, appliances rated A+ for efficiency, low-consumption lightbulbs in outdoor light fixtures and A+ rated LEDs in all indoor light fittings.

Optimise

Centralised Technical Management

Centralised Technical Management (CTM) enables us to assist site managers in maintaining their rental fleet.

This indispensable tool enables them to remotely control high-consumption equipment to optimise its use, saving almost 20% on energy bills over a period of 2 to 4 years. CTM saves a considerable amount of time and money.

Ecology

The eco-profile: our measurement tool

To quantify our environmental impact, we have developed a rating system that is unique on the market, based on almost 110 rating criteria, grouped into 10 families: the eco profile.

Reviewed every year, this system tracks our mobile homes from design to manufacture, to recycling. Using this highly effective tool, our teams are able to measure the environmental impact of each of our ranges and constantly improve them.

Partnership

Our sector is mobilising for the future

Many campsites are located in areas of outstanding natural beauty.

With the support of the FNHPA and its official partners such as IRM, almost all campsites have signed the national charter on landscape integration. They are also committed to economical water management and investigating options for waste management. Meanwhile, the company Eco Mobil-Home facilitates the removal and dismantling of obsolete mobile homes, promoting regular renewal of the rental fleet. Together, we will continue to move forward.

Ecology

Eco Mobil-Home is promoting the concept of « end of life »

With this striking concept, Eco Mobil-Home is inspiring the industry to regularly renew the available accommodation by opting for dismantling rather than resale.

Dismantling has numerous benefits: it prevents illegal settlements and site “sprawl” and, above all, enables a large proportion of the product to be recycled, while enabling site managers to improve their image, for a customer base reluctant to stay in ageing structures. This service is free and offers undeniable benefits for the whole industry, why wait!

Eco-organisation

Eco Mobil-Home: a key brand in the outdoor accommodation industry

Eco Mobil-home celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2025! The association, of which BIO HABITAT is a member,has dismantled over 16,000 accommodation facilities since its launch, 1,683 of these in the 2022/2023 season and over 35,000 tonnes of materials have been processedd, recycled and reused by a network of 35 partner dismantlers in France! These free services have significantly reduced the average age of a mobile home to 25.6 years. This situation reflects the efficient response capacity of Eco-Mobil-Home, as well as a genuine desire within the industry to improve the quality of the accommodation on offer and upgrade the rental fleets for a more appealing outdoor accommodation sector in France.
