At Galloway Flooring As consumers and supplier we are getting more eco-conscious by the day. We are also always concerned and passionate about environmental sustainability. We aim to demonstrate our environmental commitment to our customers and suppliers. This why we signed up to carpet recycling uk and with doing so here are some of the environmental solutions they have come up with and their aims:
“Carpet Recycling UK drives innovation in end-of-life solutions for carpets. Our vision is of a strong and diverse carpet recycling industry which recovers all carpet waste using best environmental technologies. We envisage a world where 100% of all carpet waste is diverted from landfill through re use and recycling”
“Our main aim is to increase the diversion of carpets from landfill. We do this through:
- Finding new end uses for recycled carpet.
- Facilitating relationships between people who want to recycle carpet and recyclers.
- Lobbying for a favourable policy environment.
- Providing practical support for carpet recyclers.
- Research and development.
- Dissemination of results at conferences, trade events and shows”
But that’s not where we stop here at Galloway when it comes to the environment and our contributions. Here I have listed all the ways we as a family run business all the steps we have taken to contribute our help towards it.
