Targeting reductions <strong>of</strong> the<br />

biggest environmental impacts<br />

on our products is a priority. One<br />

way in which this is done is by<br />

exploring ways to reduce the<br />

total amount <strong>of</strong> nylon used or to<br />

use recycled yarn<br />

However, our aim is to reduce all<br />

the environmental impacts <strong>of</strong> all<br />

our products to zero. This means<br />

cutting the impacts <strong>of</strong> every<br />

component at every stage <strong>of</strong> the<br />

life cycle <strong>of</strong> our products.<br />

The challenge is to reduce the<br />

overall environmental impact<br />

<strong>of</strong> our products (not just <strong>of</strong><br />

particular components) and<br />

processes (throughout the<br />

whole supply chain) without<br />

compromising on performance<br />

and quality. If a particular part<br />

<strong>of</strong> the product does not perform<br />

well, it could decrease the life<br />

expectancy <strong>of</strong> the whole <strong>carpet</strong>,<br />

requiring it to be replaced more<br />

frequently and significantly<br />

increase the overall impact.
