The New Government’s Backing For Wool In Public Sector Buildings Is A Vote Of Confidence In The Sector, Says Wools Of New Zealand

The new Government’s backing for wool in public sector buildings is a vote of confidence in the sector, says Wools of New Zealand. The coalition Government is directing government agencies where practical and appropriate to prefer the use of woolen fibres rather than artificial fibres in government buildings. Wools of New Zealand chief executive John McWhirter says they’re seeing more and more organisations like Beef + Lamb New Zealand and the Bank of New Zealand aiming to make their premises more sustainable by choosing wool over plastic and now the Government has signaled it wants to move in this direction too. He says their commercial wool tile range is a key part of the company’s strategy to significantly improve earnings for New Zealand strong wool producers.
