Why Consumers Need Traceable Wool

The Environment

Only by using products with transparent supply lines can we calculate the environmental impact of a carpet.
Laneve carpets are made using 100% renewable wool fibre that is biodegrade and processed via the world's most efficient manufacturers.

New Zealand is the ideal climate for growing wool, where the grass grows fast even in the winter allowing far more productive sheep than anywhere else in the world.
The scouring of wool in New Zealand is world class with all aspects of farm management and wool processing covered by an act of Parliament to ensure the natural environment is protected.

The large farms in New Zealand means Laneve wool makes its way to the scour in one truck.
Wool is shipped in compressed bales direct to manufacturers in highly efficient supply chains. Only three percent of a Laneve carpets carbon footprint is attributable to transport.

Laneve wool takes 1/8th of the energy to produce than Nylon fibre.

Social Responsibility

Laneve wools are grown by communities of farmers who sign up to strict rules regarding environmental, social and animal welfare practices.
All manufacturing partners are selected to ensure the best possible practice.
Laneve wool is all shorn from live happy sheep.
