LEVELS of carbon dioxide are at a worryingly all-time high. While CO2 is an essential element to the survival of plants and animals, too much CO2 has a catastrophic impact on the environment.
In March 2023, CO2 levels were recorded at 420.74 parts per million – scarily, the highest average ever recorded.
As a manufacturer, UltraFloor know they have responsibility to be as sustainable as possible. Sustainability and environmental impact has always been a high priority for everyone at UltraFloor and with that in mind, they have introduced several environmental initiatives, all with the aim of reducing their environmental impact.
UltraFloor pride themselves on their sustainability practices and all of their high-performance subfloor preparation materials are produced at their world-class manufacturing facilities in Tamworth, Staffordshire. ‘Having as little impact on the environment as possible is behind every decision I make about the running of our production facility. In the last year alone, I am proud to say that we have introduced further initiatives which includes installing 3 new compressors and a new X8i Compressor System Controller which constantly monitors the system and manages them to only produce the air required,’ says Paul Evans, works director at Instarmac Group.
The environmental improvements to UltraFloor’s manufacturing and office facilities do not end there. In recent years, UltraFloor have invested over £420,000 to install 3,771sq m of solar panels at their Tamworth-based premises. The power generated by the high specification solar panels is converted into electricity for use at their site saves at least 36,000 kw per month.
UltraFloor is helping its customers reduce its own carbon footprint with the introduction of Level IT Hydra Bond and Level IT Multi Pro. The first of their kind, these unrivalled smoothing underlayments utilise UltraFloor’s unique EnviroBead Technology in their formulation which means every bag of Level IT Hydra Bond and Level IT Multi Pro contains 20% recycled material.
