Silentnight are incredibly proud to have received independent validation of their position as a carbon neutral business.
This wonderful achievement is the result of an unwavering commitment to our environment. Through ethical business practices and sustainable product development, Silentnight have been able to evolve their business in a way that benefits the environment around us.
What does it mean to be carbon neutral? Basically, every gram per kilometre (g/km) of carbon dioxide Silentnight emit is offset by the amount of carbon we save through renewable energy projects and energy efficiency projects. This way, Silentnight put back-into the environment what they've taken away.
All waste generated across the Silentnight Barnoldswick site is recycled - with food, foam, paper, card, polythene film and metal waste going to local and national recycling companies.
Silentnight's objective is to divert waste from landfills and reduce the amount of harmful toxins and gases released into the atmosphere.
To help combat this, Silentnight; in conjunction with other partners - introduced the Mattress Disposal Service.
All mattresses are stripped back: metal is melted, foam is crumbled and re-used into kid's play mats and comfort fillings are re-purposed for protective clothing.
And to make sure they're always improving their processes and making a continual positive impact on the environment, their management systems get independently audited annually.
In the North Yorkshire town of Skipton, Tom and Joan Clarke created 'Clarke's Mattresses Limited' and so the story began...
Tom and Joan officially registered 'Clarke's Mattresses Limited' and the business began to grow.
The bed company was thriving in producing high quality beds and demand lead to being moved into Barnoldswick.
Ckarke's Mattresses had a name change and Silentnight began.
Growing at such a rapid rate the company moved to Lancashire.
Cemented as the number one bed brand and in 1986 they created the 'Miracoil spring system'.
