At Cheney Penrose Designs, our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From sourcing raw materials to our production processes, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint and promote eco-friendly practices. Here’s a closer look at how we approach sustainability in our fabrics, wallpaper, and china collections.
Our fabric range embodies our dedication to sustainability, combining luxurious quality with eco-conscious practices. Partnering with a UK based cloth supplier, we ensure that our fabrics are not only beautiful but also kind to the environment.
Our cloth supplier an environmentally conscious wholesaler specializing in two principal areas: luxurious pure linens and recycled cottons. Here’s how our linen fabric stands out in terms of sustainability:
Low Environmental Impact: Linen is derived from the flax plant, which is grown close to our UK market in Northern France, Belgium, and Eastern Europe. This proximity minimizes transportation emissions and supports local agriculture.
Minimal Resource Requirements: The flax plant thrives on sunshine and rainwater, requiring very little fertilizer and pesticide. It also naturally absorbs a lot of carbon dioxide. This reduces the ecological footprint associated with its cultivation.
Natural Retting Process: The process of “retting” separates the linen fibre from the stalk naturally, using rain, dew, sunshine, and beneficial microbes. This method returns nutrients to the soil, maintaining its fertility for future crops and ensuring a cyclically sustainable process.
At Cheney Penrose Designs, we are committed to making our wallpapers not only beautiful but also kind to the environment. Here’s how we ensure our wallpapers are eco-friendly and safe:
Sustainable Materials: Our wallpapers are made with ECO Smooth Uncoated Non-Woven substrate, which includes:
Recycled Polyester: We use recycled PET (plastic) instead of new materials to lower our carbon footprint and reduce waste.
Safe Inks: Our inks are water-based and free from harmful chemicals, making them safe for your home and the environment.
Responsible Sourcing: We use paper from forests certified by the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council), ensuring they are managed responsibly and sustainably.
Tested for Safety: Our wallpapers meet strict European safety standards, including fire safety, so they are safe to use in any room.
At Cheney Penrose Designs, our fine bone china is crafted with a focus on sustainability and quality. Here’s how we ensure our china is both beautiful and good for the planet:
Sustainable Raw Materials: The materials we use, like clay and kaolin, come from reserves that are managed to last a long time. This means we don’t deplete natural resources quickly and support sustainable practices.
Durable and Long-Lasting: Our bone china is very strong and less likely to chip. This durability means it lasts longer than other types of porcelain, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing waste.
Energy-Efficient Production: Making bone china involves high-temperature firing, but the strength of the material allows us to use less of it. This saves energy and resources during production.
Low Environmental Impact: Using calcium phosphate from bone ash has a smaller environmental footprint compared to other materials. The process is simple and doesn’t involve harmful chemicals, making it a greener choice.
At Cheney Penrose Designs, sustainability is integral to our operations. From sourcing raw materials to production, we prioritize reducing our environmental impact and promoting eco-friendly practices. We print locally in the UK using 100% natural materials for our fabrics and wallpapers. Our on-demand printing minimizes waste, and we recycle or repurpose packaging materials to further reduce our footprint.
