With an ISO 14001 environmental quality accreditation, regular on-site checks by independent institutes ensure the best possible environmental production methods. In addition, every Desso carpet and carpet home tile carries a unique GUT test number that proves it passes GUT tests for contamination and emission. We also have several initiatives for re-using carpet tiles to ease the burden on landfill, and our ongoing research programme for environmental awareness and recycling covers both product and packaging. Desso continuously seeks to improve the environmental attributes of our products through product design development programmes whilst our manufacturing plants evaluate energy use and a continuous reduction in waste and pollution as well as process improvement.
