Environmental Rating System by Wortley Group

 

All fabrics offered by Wortley Group are assessed for
their environmental impact.Environmental Rating System.

The Environmental Rating System (ERS) takes into account the technical specifics of manufacturing each product, from farming practices and energy consumption, through to mill waste and recycling programs.

The environmental impact of each product is carefully scrutinized.

The consumption of water, land, energy and chemicals, and the production of greenhouse gases are just a few of the factors assessed.

For instance, just one kilogram of cotton fabric requires between 12,000 and 29,000 litres of water, as well as the application of numerous pesticides.

The higher the leaf rating, the less impact it has on the environment during its life cycle. The rating on specific fabrics is available on www.wortleygroup.com.au
or through your trader.

For the first time, you can now balance your decor decision with sustainable living.
