Sustainability

We are all part of a Sustainable Society.

Environmental aspects, such as making eco-friendly products, fighting pollution and climate change. Feltech has been focusing on developing the innovative acoustic interior products using recycled natural and polyester fibers made of discarded drinking water bottles. Every square of our carpet tile or acoustic wall panel contains the post- consumer recycled polyester.

Social aspects our safe working environment including ecological awareness programs has a great positive influence on all who work with us. Feltech uses the latest thermo bonding technology. This process of bonding fibers using high temperatures and by eliminating any chemical or latex binders, assures you there are no hazardous red list chemicals or adhesive content in our products.

Reduce

Feltech carpet tile uses our innovative environmentally friendly ECOSTEP backing instead of traditional PVC containing non biodegradable compounds. PVC backed carpet tiles are controversial at the end of their useful life. A large %age of the estimated 120 million m2 PVC tiles replaced annually end up in landfill sites around the world, causing serious pollution to underground water and soil structure.

Reuse

Feltech is currently using these reclaimed fibers to produce sound insulation felt for the automotive industry. This results in the same fibers being recycled twice (and even for a third and fourth time if the felt can be sent back to Feltech for recycling again after the automobile is scrapped.)

Recycle

Regenerated fibers are clean and soft like virgin fibers and superior in sound absorption and heat insulation compared with fiberglass pound for pound. Fiberglass is known to be toxic and irritant, posing health hazards to the installation crew and tenants of the building insulated with the material for years to come. Polyester is free of chemicals and safe. It does not absorb moisture and does not rot or deteriorate over time. It is a user-friendly material commonly used for stuffing pillows and making clothing.

Recover

Feltech makes best use of recovering disposable single use plastics using source separation. Energy from materials and sources focuses our “circular thinking” for the future environmental and social economies.

Renewable Energy

This is useful energy collected from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on human timescales. Including carbon neutral sources; sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. This type of energy is in stark contrast to fossil fuels, which are being consumed more quickly than they are replenished.

Important economic outcomes,
Cost saving that reduces the carbon footprint with proactive advances on energy management. Feltech installed 1.4MW solar rooftops at our plants in Amala City Chonburi Industrial Estate. This helps achieve energy saving, reduce carbon footprint and realize sustainability goals.

50% of power consumption comes from our solar rooftops. This project is officially confirmed to have saved our planet approximately 120,000 trees planted last year and reduced CO2 emissions to 1,400 tons.

The internal waste is fully examined by waste management and product development as a critical component in our factory management system. Then this is recycled to make insulation batt or carpet underlay.

This is beneficial both for ourselves and society.
