Sustainability overview
Sustainability
We take our environmental commitments seriously.
We strive to engineer products with the longest possible lifespan. That’s better for you and better for the environment.
Our cabinets don’t travel across the planet to reach you, they are despatched direct from the point of manufacture in the heart of the Midlands, saving hundreds of tonnes of carbon every year.
From the raw materials we choose for our furniture down to the paper we use in our offices, every decision we make is led by our commitment to the environment.
To reduce our waste
All of our offcut and sawdust waste that isn’t suitable for recycling is used on site as biomass fuel to heat our offices and factory. Our cardboard packaging is cut on site to the exact size, minimising surplus waste and making transport more efficient.
To use locally-sourced, certified or recycled raw materials wherever possible
We’re proud to be a British manufacturer and we strive to support other British suppliers and manufacturers. We always attempt to source our raw materials as close as possible to the point of assembly in order to keep transportation emissions to an absolute minimum.
To build quality products that last
To ensure complete reliability and longevity of our products, we work very closely with the companies who supply our components so that we always source the best possible option.
Add to this our own rigorous in-house testing facilities and you can be sure that your beautiful Utopia bathroom will provide many years of service.
Our ethical responsibilities.
All of the raw materials used in our products come from large, reputable companies and are mostly produced in the UK or Europe.
We do not use small-scale suppliers based in the Far East.
We are signed up to the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code, an internationally recognised code of good labour practice aimed at preventing modern slavery.
