Start your journey into sustainable manufacture
We can work with you to develop sustainable alternatives to non-recyclables, man-made and polluting fibre in existing components and to develop exciting new sustainable product ranges that listen to the wants of the end-user.
Developing fabrics sustainably covers not only raw materials and processes but also logistics. John Spencer Textiles is close to excellent transport links for ease of delivery, and all fabrics are woven and finished in the local region, so can sometimes travel no more than a mile during manufacture. You can be sure of the fact that when you say ‘Made in Britain’, your fabrics genuinely are!
We use FSC approved cardboard to transport your products and try to minimise the amount of plastic and so bulk-pack items. In some cases, we can hold stock for you and despatch as needed. Please talk to a member of the team about your individual needs.
As a part of our commitment to ‘always improve’, our mill has been fitted with 175 solar panels. Saving 375 tonnes of Co2 and generating 945,000kwh of electricity over 25 years, allowing us to power all of our offices on greener energy and gives a bit more back to the grid. We aim to continue to evaluate these areas where we can do better and make changes as we develop the business.
