All electricity used at Freefoam’s UK manufacturing site in Northampton is supplied from sustainable supplies.
As an energy intensive business, Freefoam has made a strategic choice to only purchase electricity from renewable resources. Geoff Barnett, UK General Manager, explained “As a manufacturing plant, energy is one of our biggest commodities, used to power our mixing and production operations, some of which operate 24/7. Knowing that we are sourcing all our energy requirements from solar power is a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions. Freefoam are serious about sustainability and playing our part in managing precious resources. As General Manager in the UK I am very proud of this initiative.
This development is part of a much wider strategic plan to ensure that Freefoam becomes part of the circular economy, with numerous projects currently happening around the business. Geoff summarised “We’re on a journey and have already taken some significant steps with many more to follow. Our aim is to put reduce, re-use and recycle at the heart of everything we do.”
