“When we were looking at recarpeting our Wellington office, it was a no-brainer to choose sustainable over synthetics and support New Zealand sheep farmers,” says Sam McIvor, chief executive of B+LNZ.
“It was great to have the option of Wools of New Zealand commercial carpet tiles – it’s the right choice for the planet and our people.”
Kate Acland, chair of B+LNZ, says that wool is naturally biodegradable, flame-resistant, stain resistant and looks great.
“It feels more comfortable to walk on and sustainability-wise it ticks the box.
“The wool used in our new carpet tiles is also sourced from farmers committed to world-leading sustainable farming practices. As a farmer myself, I’m proud to be supporting Kiwi farmers and rural communities.”
