Bed company’s bright idea for expanding green credentials

A South East chain of bedding stores has turned the spotlight on its green credentials after announcing the role out of eco bulbs throughout its stores.

In the quest to be ‘more green in 2018’, Sussex Beds has installed Eco-LED lights in half of its branches - with the remaining stores soon to follow. The simple change has already seen a significant reduction in energy bills by 39% and builds on the company’s green credentials.

Sussex Beds is no stranger to trying to make a positive impact to the planet. Since (insert year) the company has been recycling up to 90% of the materials old beds and mattresses are made from.

The business also instructs an independent company that’s committed to sustainability, to dispose of its cardboards and plastics. This approach results in 97.8% of the waste being recycled and not put into landfill.

Steve Pickering, MD of Sussex Beds, said, “We are committed to making positive changes for the benefit of the environment. Diminishing heat leakage, while still offering the perfect lighting for our customers, demonstrates another way we are striving to make a difference. We look forward to executing further plans in the very near future.”
