Creating a Circular Economy: Recycled Worktops
We can now offer environmentally friendly worktops manufactured with 100% recycled plastic.
This marks a significant stride in our commitment to eco-friendly practices, as we continually strive to contribute to a greener world.
How does it work? Our supplier recycles discarded plastics from waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill, they then use this waste to create high-quality and ecofriendly worktops.By diverting waste from landfills and transforming it into something we can use, we are closing the loop on plastic waste.Our worktops are not just sustainable; they’re part of a larger movement to change how we use, reuse, and repurpose to minimise waste and environmental negative impact. |
