We would like to pass our congratulations to Axminster Carpets, one of the UK’s leading carpet manufacturers who are runners up in the cleaner water category at the inaugural Environment Agency Awards.
In 2009 Axminster completed a £2m investment in a water recycling plant which is able to convert 95% of its waste water amounting to over 2m litres per week.
Group managing director Josh Dutfield said, “Our water recycling plant is part of our strategy to minimise the environmental impact of our yarn spinning and carpet manufacturing processes.”
In fact they are also using residual waste to bio-fuel which they plan will to use to power their manufacturing and their vehicles.
It is good to report that the carpet manufacturing industry is very serious about the environment and each year more waste material goes for recycling rather than landfill.
