A RUG business is looking for natural solutions to tackle climate change.
The Woolly Rug Company in Ambleside manufactures highly-prized hand-made rugs and wall-hangings from a small workshop in the heart of the Lake District.
Owner Jane Exley turned to Eco-Innovations for help when she wanted to explore developing a manufacturing technique using natural rather than chemical dyes.
She said: “We’re very proud of our sustainable process but wondered if there was even more we could do.
“This might include potential CO2 reduction if we could source local natural products with a shorter distance for transport.
“We’ve begun a very interesting investigation into how we might become even more sustainable.
"We had ideas which this project allowed us to explore fully.”
