Sustainability

SP Blinds constantly strive to operate on a sustainable basis. We aim to supply products that will leave a positive impact on the environment through a policy of encouraging sustainable business practices. For that reason, we place a special focus on the 5 Rs:

• RETHINKING
• REUSING
• REDUCING
• RECYCLING
• RECOVERING

The main aspects SP Blinds currently concentrates on are:

• Offering window covering products that are environmentally-friendly.
• Supplying a high quality durable product resulting in product longevity thus reducing waste.
• Operating a business which is stable and sustainable, and making an effort to reduce all impacts of operation on the environment to a minimum, wherever possible.

We illustrate our commitment to this policy in the following areas and in the following ways.

‘Green Star’ – Professional Advice

SP Blinds are heavily involved in specification of window coverings where the intention is to rate the project under the New Zealand Green Building Council’s ‘Green Star” regime. We can provide you with sound advice and indicate where your product choice is able to qualify for points under any of the Green Star rating tools.

Blinds – An Important Factor

in Eco-Friendly Spaces

Window coverings directly affect the energy efficiency of a space by:

• Reducing energy consumption – Blinds can dramatically reduce the amount of heat penetrating from the outside, and provide some insulation from the cold.
• Blinds reduce the level of glare, making for a more pleasant working space.
• Blinds are flexible – so the choice remains to use natural light.

Durable Blinds – Less Future Waste

Low grade manufacture and inferior quality materials fail to last, which increases the impact at landfill. SP Blinds is consistently delivering blinds to industry best practise standards. All components and fabrics making our collection are of the highest standard. This and our precise manufacturing processes ensure blinds look and perform well for long periods of time.
