Honouring our commitment to reduce our environmental impact

Drawing on over 150 years of manufacturing, backed by a strong heritage, we proudly operate four carpet manufacturing facilities,

three yarn processing facilities, 10 distribution centres, and 14 sales offices across Australia and New Zealand where we are dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint through careful and responsible resource management and the continued investment in new technology to improve our processes.

Product Circularity

Godfrey Hirst is committed to the application of circular economy principles and the continual improvement in our environmental, quality, health and safety performance demonstrated by our externally accredited ISO14001, ISO9001 and ISO45001 management systems.

This includes investigation and implementation of measures to reduce the potential environmental impacts of disposal of our products at the end of their service life and continued investment into sustainable waste and recycling systems for production and take back programs. We are actively seeking environmentally responsible ways to dispose of our products and ways to encourage end users to responsibly dispose of discarded flooring products

Using Carpet Fibres for Stronger Concrete

Engineers have discovered an innovative way to enhance concrete strength and reduce cracking by incorporating scrap carpet fibres. This exciting new development not only improves the durability of concreate but also promotes product circularity in the construction industry. The research team, collaborating with partners like Textile Recyclers Australia and Godfrey Hirst, is testing concrete made from recycled textiles

Loop Program

Our GH Commercial division’s Loop program gives carpet tiles a second life. Carpet tiles are collected, graded and reused for their original purpose in a new installation. Our clientele ranges from charities, schools, price-conscious buyers to environmentally-conscious corporate clients. This program truly closes the loop, without destruction of value and requiring minimum energy needs.
