Sustainability

Sustainability is something we all strive to achieve. It’s on everyone’s mind. Knowledge is power and knowing where something comes from can give you comfort when it’s sourced properly and skillfully produced. We encourage our clients to continue to ask questions and understand where and how products are made.

Since 1783 Brintons has owned and operated its own factories producing woven Axminster and Wilton carpets for commercial and residential interiors. Owning our own facilities gives us the unique opportunity to control every aspect of the process. As an environmentally-responsible company, Brintons is continuously evaluating its procedures and integrates improvements through each manufacturing process and over all aspects of our business, including raw material and energy use reduction, manufacturing waste and harmful emissions reduction, and recyclable products.

Wool is the primary component of our products bringing a multitude of benefits and most importantly it’s a sustainable material. Classed as Rapidly-Renewable wool carpets make a significant contribution to improve indoor living standards, conservation of energy and are ecologically friendly.

Brintons sources wool following IWTO (International Wool Textile Organization) sheep welfare guide­lines. IWTO is the recognized global authority for manufacturing standards in the wool textile industry.

Brintons is a registered supporter of The Campaign for Wool which was started in 2010 by HRH The Prince of Wales with the purpose of renewing interest in and creating a greater awareness of wool’s environmental credentials. Our CEO has signed The Dumfries House Declaration which is a ten-point declaration of intent to support an environmentally responsible, sustainable, and commercially viable wool industry.
