Waste
Waste reduction follows the principals of the 5R’s; Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle.
Making smart design choices, manufacturing right first time and recycling a greater proportion of general
waste and textile by-product. We are proud to be a luxury manufacturer producing fabrics that will be
treasured. Our main focus is currently reduction and elimination projects around textile waste, single
use plastics and organic matter.
Waste reporting
We are a demand driven manufacturer, which means we only use raw materials to weave fabric in a direct
response to customer demand, which eliminates over production of stock. We remain a committed zerolandfill site. In 2023 approximately 78% of our waste was recycled and 22% incinerated for energy.
