“Despite there being a multitude of sustainability reasons to purchase a remanufactured goods, the challenge for organisations comes in removing the perception of risk and offering an assurance of consistent quality and reliability. To help the consumer navigate this space, BSI developed the Kitemark for remanufactured and reconditioned products to assure the quality of refurbishment processes.”
To coincide with its 10th anniversary, Made in Britain CEO John Pearce also considered what the next ten are likely to have in store, amid so much economic uncertainty, in British manufacturing. In his viewpoint, he referenced that “Over the next decade, zero-waste targets will become normal business practice rather than exceptions to the rule. All businesses will become more accountable for their impact on the planet and their responsibility to protect it as time runs down on the climate change clock”.
He also mentioned the foreseen need for manufacturers to “acknowledge and evaluate their impact challenges. They will also need to shout loud about their positive social and environmental contributions – such as employing people doing meaningful work in a safe and ethical environment or using 100% up-cycled materials.”
So why are we commenting on this?
Well, we build our machines with a strong focus on innovation, problem solving and prevention, as well as ensuring efficiency and best practice within the mattress making production process. Whilst our machines can be used in the manufacturing or both new and recycled mattresses, and the processing of unusable products, we are also championing the combatting of unsafe and unlawful practices such as the removal and replacement of sock and fire covers before they are resold as new.
Our range of machines and conveyors; from our stitching, panel and border cutting machines, to our belt- and roller-driven straight line and multi-directional conveyors, that allow the flipping, turning, rotation and inspection of products and components such as the processing of foam blocks and buns, are suitable to be seamlessly added to any new or existing production lines.
