SUSTAINABILITY,
WELLBEING AND
RECYCLED PRODUCTS
Bespoke office interiors firm Penketh Group has revealed an increase in the number of
customers looking for well-designed products with strong eco credentials.
The recycling trend has spread firmly from the home to the work environment with
more companies sourcing products with a sustainable pedigree.
Paul Mann, Sales Director of Penketh Group, said: “We are seeing an increasing number
of customers interested in well-designed and sustainable products that incorporate
elements of recycling, upcycling and re-using.
“There are an incredible array of products on the market today including chairs that can
be completely recycled, stunning fabrics with strong eco credentials and even acoustic
lamps made from recycled felt.
“We see many different trends but the emphasis today is on creating spaces that
encourage productivity amongst employees, promote wellbeing, and that also care for
the environment.”
The company has recently worked with leading Interior Designers SpaceInvader to
provide furniture for engineering consultants Hilson Moran to meet the WELL Building
Standard. All the furniture was sourced by Penketh to conform to stringent VOC (volatile
organic compounds) expectations in order to improve air quality and ensure long-term
compliance.
Hilson Moran’s Manchester office is now set to be the first WELL Gold Standard accredited
office in the North of England.
