98% of production waste is recycled or treated. Wood residues from manufacturing are used for heating in order to reduce our consumption of non-renewable resources. Some of the residues are also used to make our panels. All other production waste is sorted and recycled or otherwise treated as appropriate. Everyone at Gautier has always been very aware of environmental issues. From managing resources and raw materials to transportation, the use of materials, designing furniture to last, waste management and more: at each stage we try to minimise the impact of our operations on the environment. This waste management process allows us to reduce wastage of natural resources as much as possible. Gautier's economic and environmental commitment provides a real benefit for our customers, who in turn contribute to the husbanding of raw materials and our planet's resources.
