Sustainability
Production
Our production process is powered by the latest cogeneration Combined Heat and Power (CHP) System that harnesses and uses the thermal energy in the form of efficient steam for the dyeing process. CHP is a recognised sustainable way of generating electricity whilst also contributing towards reducing CO2 emissions rather than obtaining electric from traditional sources.
We have also invested in energy efficient measures to reduce on site energy consumption such as LED lighting, solar panels and inverter and regenerative drives.
We also use heat recovery post dyeing - again to maximise the harnessing of thermal energy.
Wool
Wool is grown naturally on sheep that graze freely. Sheep grow their fleece every year making wool one of the most “green” and sustainable fibres there is.
Sheep grow wool continuously and are normally shorn once a year. Shearing does not harm the sheep - in fact it helps to stop them from overheating in summer.
Wool is 100% biodegradable and renewable, making it a true sustainable fibre.
