In today’s world, the concept of product stewardship is gaining increasing importance as individuals and organisations recognise the need for responsible management of products and materials.
Product Stewardship embodies the acknowledgment that those involved in the design, manufacturing, and sale of products bear a responsibility to ensure that these items are managed in a manner that minimises their environmental and human health impacts, both throughout their life-cycle and across the supply chain.
At the heart of Product Stewardship lies the goal of driving environmentally beneficial outcomes through practices such as thoughtful design, clean manufacturing processes, and the use of components and materials that are conducive to recovery, reuse, and recycling.
It presents an opportunity for businesses to not only meet regulatory requirements but to also elevate their standards, striving for excellence and achieving more sustainable outcomes.
We are dedicated to providing sustainable commercial flooring solutions, understanding our corporate, social, and environmental responsibilities. Notably, we have achieved Carbon Neutral certification in Australia by Climate Active, ensuring that our carbon emissions are offset, resulting in a net-zero impact on the environment.
Moreover, we hold GreenRate™ Level A certifications by Green Tag®, along with Declare and EPD Labels for our Carpet Tiles, showcasing our dedication to environmentally friendly practices and materials.
In a significant move towards advancing Product Stewardship in Australia, we have played a pivotal role in the launch and support of ResiLoop, the nation’s first national stewardship scheme for resilient flooring.
As a founding member and one of fifteen leading suppliers of resilient floor coverings, our involvement underscores our proactive stance in improving materials and waste management across various stages of production, consumption, and post-consumption life-cycle.
Furthermore, our commitment to Product Stewardship is exemplified through initiatives such as Circul8, which recently received the Highly Commended Product Stewardship Award. Circul8 embodies our dedication to closing the loop and fostering a circular economy. Through pathways focused on reinstating, rejuvenating, and regenerating, Circul8 aims to maximise the lifespan of carpet tiles while minimising waste and environmental impact.
In conclusion, we stand as a beacon of sustainability in the flooring industry, championing Product Stewardship through our actions and initiatives. By integrating responsible practices into our business model, we not only fulfill our obligations but also pave the way for a more sustainable future, demonstrating that excellence and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
