For nearly four decades, Riviera Home has been making carpets in India’s historic city of Panipat, known as ‘the city of handcrafted weavers’. Using traditional techniques, its carpets are still made by hand using high quality natural yarns, including undyed wools, bamboo and Tencel, which is made with wood pulp from sustainable forests. Riviera Home produces every carpet ethically with a conscious effort to be responsible and is a GoodWeave® certified business. GoodWeave International is a non-profit organisation and the leading institution working to stop child labour in global supply chains. As a GoodWeave® business, every handmade carpet from Riviera Home is without child labour and supports education and decent work for communities. Riviera Home’s by hand approach to making carpets is the anti-thesis of mass production, but the company still draws on modern environmental practices used to lower impact by large manufacturers. Using only non-toxic and safe chemicals approved by Oeko-Tex®, generating 20% of its electricity from its own solar field and conserving water through its own treatment and recycling plant; Riviera Home is leading ethical and sustainable handmade carpet production in its region. The Riviera Home collection is widely available through its Authorised Dealership network.

Glidevale Protect publishes Environmental Product Declarations for key ranges
L
eading UK building products manufacturer Glidevale Protect has published third party, independently verifi ed Environmental
Product Declarations (EPDs) for three of its construction wall membranes to assist specifi ers by providing clear sustainability and life cycle assessment data. Created by One Click LCA and verifi ed by the EPD Hub in accordance with EN 15804+A2 & ISO 14025 / ISO 21930, the product and factory specifi c EPDs do not contain average calculations and have been assessed cradle to gate with modules A1-A3, C1-C4 and D, with the life cycle analysis (LCA) published in accordance with the reference standards ISO 14040/14044. Detailing key environment impact data including global warming potential (GWP) calculations as well as total energy and water use, the EPDs form a transparent analysis of each product’s carbon footprint to give full reassurance in specifi cation. The development of EPDs for Protect TF200
Thermo, Protect VC Foil Ultra and Protect TF200 demonstrates Glidevale Protect’s continued commitment to and investment in sustainability. Protect TF200 Thermo is a refl ective breather membrane for external walls which can enhance thermal performance and Protect VC Foil Ultra, a refl ective air and vapour control layer (AVCL), off ers low emissivity to enhance the thermal performance of internal walls, ceilings

and fl oors. Both can be used together as a system to help maximise the energy effi ciency rating of a building and control condensation risk. Protect TF200 is a high performance breather membrane, off ering protection to external walls and minimising the risk of interstitial condensation. Detailed EPDs help specifi ers to understand
a product’s sustainability credentials when working to more stringent regulations such as Building Regulations Part L as well as whole
building environmental assessment standards like BREEAM. EPDs quantifi ably demonstrate the environmental impact of a product and data is independently verifi ed and certifi ed in line with internationally recognised standards, focused on the product’s whole life cycle.
