Our Commitment to Sustainable Manufacturing
As a leading global manufacturer of floor matting systems, we understand our responsibility to continuously improve the sustainability of our products and operations.
Procuring Recycled Materials
Whilst procuring recycled materials for our products is essential, we are also developing end of life options for our products across all Kleen-Tex home and commercial brands.
For example, our solid rubber mats can be re-crumbed for use in new products to reduce the consumption and processing of new raw materials.
We are also continuously exploring how we can extend our dedicated range of floor matting systems that are manufactured from recycled materials, including 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon made entirely from ocean and landfill waste.
Our EcoAbsorb product is manufactured from Renycle™ 50 recycled yarn, which, compared to standard yarn, saves energy, reduces CO2 emissions, reduces water consumption and reduces waste material during production.
We also utilise fabric constructed from recycled PET plastic bottles and 15% recycled Nitrile rubber.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
We are also undertaking a series of initiatives as part of our commitment to minimising our carbon footprint.
From a logistics perspective, we are proactively consolidating our deliveries with the aim of sending full truckloads to eliminate any empty shipping space. We have also implemented reduced travel frequency for staff, with increased use of conference call technology and working from home with virtual offices.
Wherever possible, we are reducing waste across our global operations and recycling at every opportunity.
Adopting efficient processes
ISO 14001:2015 has been implemented throughout all aspects of our operations and we are continuously identifying how we can increase our operational efficiencies across all aspects of our business.
This includes a reduction in packaging and palette use, the introduction of recyclable packaging and increasing our use of renewable energy throughout our supply chain.
