Beef + Lamb New Zealand has chosen wool carpeting for its Wellington headquarters, it says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The industry body will use Wools of NZ commercial wool tiles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s naturally biodegradable, flame-resistant, stain-resistant and it looks great,\u201d BLNZ chair Kate Acland said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt definitely feels more comfortable to walk on and sustainability-wise it ticks the box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe wool used in our new carpet tiles is also sourced from farmers committed to world-leading sustainable farming practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a farmer myself, I\u2019m proud to be supporting Kiwi farmers and rural communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wools of NZ chief executive John McWhirter said more companies and other organisations are seeking to ensure their premises are more sustainable and looking after the wellbeing of their people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWool carpets and tiles do not cost the earth and there is growing interest from consumers in choosing wool over plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe many beneficial natural properties of our wool tiles make them ideal for use in commercial spaces and they are a very good choice for a wide range of organisations and commercial businesses, including the education sector, offices and retail.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wools of NZ\u2019s commercial wool tile range is a key part of the company\u2019s strategy to significantly improve outcomes for NZ strong wool producers, McWhirter said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLNZ chief executive Sam McIvor said: \u201cWhen we were looking at re-carpeting our Wellington office, it was a no-brainer to choose sustainable over synthetics and support New Zealand sheep farmers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was great to have the option of Wools NZ commercial carpet tiles. It\u2019s the right choice for the planet and our people.\u201d  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018Proud to be supporting Kiwi farmers and rural communities.\u2019\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":72737,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"Wools of NZ chief executive John McWhirter says there is growing interest from consumers in choosing wool over synthetics.","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[46,103],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
