荷蘭地毯商Desso及德國運動品牌Puma

榮獲2012英國衛報之永續企業獎(Sustainable Business Awards)

---

5月29日於倫敦，英國衛報頒發了永續企業獎給搖籃到搖籃認證產品製造商Desso與Puma。永續企業獎對於展現創新且融合知識經濟的企業，是一大鼓勵。

歐洲領先的地毯和體育表面公司DESSO，因為在商業決策中實施搖籃到搖籃®設計理念，贏得了2012年英國衛報的永續企業獎當中的廢物處理和回收獎，一舉打敗其他兩個最終入圍企業，BAM Nuttall和可口可樂。

「這對我們是絕佳的鼓舞，特別對於參與整個企業轉型過程，辛勤工作的員工來說」 DESSO執行長Stef Kranendijk說。「我非常高興，因為英國衛報的永續企業獎僅徵選對社會有影響力，且可複製商業模型的企業來角逐。我們發現搖籃到搖籃®的商業策略不僅衝高我們的利潤和創新能力，也有助於我們面對社會最危急的環境危機。我們希望能影響其他企業，讓大家一起實現超越永續的目標。」

「我們正從傳統的『開採、製造、丟棄』模式邁向一個循環型經濟」Kranendijk說，「根據埃倫•麥克阿瑟基金會(Ellen MacArthur Foundation)的最新報告統計，循環型經濟模式在歐洲每年有630億美元的商機，接近整個歐盟全年度國民生產毛額的4％。」

自2008年以來，DESSO已將搖籃到搖籃®策略融入本身的商業模式，據此設計產品的拆卸和回收系統。搖籃到搖籃®的目標是重新設計我們生產製造物品的方式，讓我們的產品從根本改造，選用對環境有正面影響且可以不斷回收利用的材料。

2010年，DESSO的一個地毯系列產品以及地毯背襯EcoBase®同時獲得了搖籃到搖籃®銀級證書。由於其創新的成分，DESSO EcoBase®的聚烯烴基層是完全可透過DESSO本身系統進行回收的。

DESSO EcoBase®的地毯背襯有高達97％的材料被評估為對環境正面的材料。DESSO還建置了一個地毯回收系統，從消費者端回收使用過的地毯和材料。DESSO的目標是，到2020年所有產品的設計都將按照“搖籃到搖籃”的原則，此外大部分將生產能源改採再生能源。
