Flooring retailer Matt Lech has launched what he claims is the industry’s first ‘completely sustainable flooring and carpet company’.
Lech has launched etailer Flooring by Nature.
‘Sustainability is my passion and I didn’t feel the flooring industry was making sustainable flooring the standard practice for their customers. We’re all used to reducing our plastic consumption when visiting the supermarket by using bags for life and avoiding products wrapped in excess plastic packaging. We believe the same principles apply when we’re decorating our homes,’ says Lech.
The company’s alternatives to standard flooring include sisal, cork, bamboo and 100% wool carpets.
Flooring By Nature has partnered with Ecologi to fund carbon offset programmes and support reforestation projects within the UK and across the world. As well as this, Flooring By Nature funds a tree to be planted by Ecologi for every order over £100.
The Lech family founded Floor Design Wetherby in 1983: the two are separate companies.
