Just in from Ontera – the modular carpet manufacturer has achieved full certification to meet the revised standards for the GBCA Best Practice Guidelines for PVC in the Built Environment.

To meet the new guidelines an independent assessment is required, effectively replacing the previously accepted Manufacturers Declaration.

Meeting the strict requirements of the independent assessment is a testament to the world class environmental policies and procedures that Ontera deliver.

Ontera Modular Carpets has an unwavering commitment to environmental leadership across all aspects of its business – through sourcing components, production, distribution and reuse or recycling.
