To date, 40 for 40, a partnership between Parkside Architectural Tiles and World Land Trust has protected over 156 acres of biodiverse habitat.
40 for 40 is a partnership between specifiers, Parkside Architectural Tiles and the World Land Trust, www.worldlandtrust.org, to protect the world’s precious natural habitats. By specifying tiles from Parkside that have 40% recycled content or above, specifiers can play an active role in saving land and species.
In its most successful quarterly period to date and since June alone, 40 for 40 has stepped up for 36 acres of permanently protected nature reserves in Argentina, Brazil, Kenya and South Africa.
From its launch (1st July 2021 – 30th September 2023), 40 for 40 has protected 156 acres of habitat through World Land Trust’s projects. This contribution has helped the World Land Trust to secure the future of more than 2,600,00 acres of land to date, protecting over 11,000 species.
Jonathan Wiles, director of commercial sales, Parkside Architectural Tiles, says: “40 for 40 is part of a measured approach to reducing our impact on the planet. The scheme commits to land purchase on every square metre of tiles from Parkside that are specified with 40% or more recycled content. We’re delighted to be contributing to the work of the World Land Trust in 40 for 40 which we see as a balanced approach that not only considers resources, but also goes someway to give back to nature.”
Tiles that qualify under the 40 for 40 programme, including an extensive range of design tiles and specialist solutions such as the 98% recycled and by-product materials of Principle and the 100% British made Ethical Stone Terrazzo, can be found on the tile specialist’s website.
