Sustainably Sourced Wool: A Natural Choice

One of the key materials we use in our products is wool.

Not only is wool a renewable resource, but it also biodegrades naturally, making it an excellent choice for eco-conscious consumers.

At Putnams, we source our wool from British farms that prioritise animal welfare and sustainable practices. This means you can enjoy the luxurious feel of our wool products while knowing that you're supporting responsible farming methods.

In our commitment to ethical sourcing and animal welfare, it's important to note that all the wool used in Putnams products is sourced exclusively from British farms.

This practice allows us to confidently assure our customers that the sheep providing this wool are treated with the utmost care and respect. Thanks to the stringent animal welfare standards that the UK is known for globally.

These high standards are not just guidelines but mandatory requirements that all farmers in the UK must follow, ensuring that the animals are kept in safe, healthy, and humane conditions in accordance with The Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare.

These mandatory requirements are ethical imperatives for animal welfare. These freedoms include;

freedom from hunger and thirst;
freedom from discomfort;
freedom from pain, injury, or disease;
freedom to express normal behavior;
freedom from fear and distress.

Planting Trees for a Greener Future

In addition to our commitment to using sustainable materials, Putnams also actively participates in reforestation efforts.

For every order over £60, we plant a tree in partnership with organizations dedicated to restoring and protecting our planet's forests.

We work with Tree Nation for full visibility of the Putnams forest - one of most proudest achievements.

This is true generational wealth!

This initiative is dedicated to not only reforesting our planet but also empowering the local community through job creation. By participating in our tree-planting efforts, you're contributing to both environmental restoration and local employment.

To date, our collective efforts have led to the planting of 13,107 trees across 6.75 hectares of land.

The environmental impact of these newly planted trees is substantial, equating to the CO2 capture from;

charging 71,293,539 smartphones,
powering 114 homes for a year,
supporting the annual drive of 130 passenger vehicles,
filling 7.8 tanker trucks with gasoline,
or offsetting the consumption of 1,356 barrels of oil.

By supporting Putnams, you're not only enhancing your home's comfort but also contributing to the growth of new trees and the preservation of our ecosystem.
