Our green journey
Since the start of our green journey in 1991, we have constantly pushed the limits for operational efficiency, seeking ecologically sustainable manufacturing methods and developing eco-friendly products.
An Australian first
There’s a first time for everything. Belgotex’s South African flooring manufacturer has earned the coveted Global GreenTag eco-label certification, a significant sustainability milestone. This internationally recognised “Level A” Global GreenTag certification – called GreenRate™ – certifies that our floors and fabrics are 100% compliant with South Africa’s Green Building Council (GBSCSA) rating tools. This 6 Star certification acknowledges our “global leadership” status and commitment to sustainability across our floor and carpet manufacturing operations. GreenTag’s prodigious rating has encouraged us to integrate more sustainability-first practices into our business operations.
Water management
We achieve more with less. Belgotex is proud to reduce needless freshwater consumption by 35-45% through less water-intensive dyeing techniques and localised rainwater recycling.
Waste management
Waste not, want not. Belgotex has poured over AU$400,000 into waste-minimisation and waste-recycling practices, keeping the generation of eco-toxic waste at an all-time low.
Energy conservation
A lower carbon footprint results in a healthier environment. Belgotex has invested over $1.5 million in 2.4MW solar panel installations and energy-saving solutions to decrease our reliance on coal-fired electricity.
