L&P Flooring Products uses more than 100 million pounds of post-industrial and post-consumer Flexible Polyurethane Foam scrap per year to produce their foam flooring underlayment products, reducing landfill burden and conserving resources.

Post-industrial waste is generated from block manufacture and trimming scraps during the fabrication of products such as mattresses, upholstered furniture, and automotive seating. Post-consumer waste comes from end-of-life upholstered furniture, mattresses, carpet cushion, and automotive interior parts.

By repurposing post-industrial and post-consumer scrap, L&P Flooring Products not only creates functional foam products but also honors our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future.

This week, we are sharing simple ways to reduce food waste!

Earth Day is a time to celebrate our planet and renew our commitment to sustainability. At L&P, our goal is to make Earth Day every day. This year, Leggett & Platt has much to be proud of – we completed and plan to share our first Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) inventory covering 2019-2022. Companywide milestones such as this and efforts at our branches contribute to our strides in reducing our environmental footprint.

Throughout Earth Month, we’ve featured a “Sustainability Focus of the Week,” where we’ve highlighted our sustainability efforts and shared simple yet impactful tips to practice at home or work so we can all do our part to promote a greener future.

The theme of this year’s Earth Day is Planet vs. Plastics. Did you know that by 2050, it is estimated that there will be more plastic than fish (by weight) in the ocean? Here are some ways we can all try to avoid using single-use plastics:

• Carry a reusable water bottle or coffee cup

• Bring your own utensils instead of using plastic cutlery

• Reuse plastic bags whenever possible

• Try to avoid buying food sold in excess plastic packaging

By taking small actions together, we can make a big difference for our planet!

Thank you for doing your part to make a greener future!

This week we are sharing simple ways to save energy:

Leggett & Platt Automotive’s Pullmaflex branch in Ammanford, UK, is doing its part to create a greener future.

Nearly 3 billion plastic cups end up in UK landfills each year, as the majority of cups cannot be recycled. To reduce waste, the team recently discontinued using disposable cups in their hot drinks vending machine and each team member received an L&P-branded reusable cup to use at the vending machine.

Congrats to Pullmaflex for their commitment to sustainability and exhibiting our value of doing great work together!

This week we are sharing simple ways to conserve water:

Mark Hodges, Manufacturing Engineer at Super Sagless in Tupelo, Mississippi, shared some simple ways he conserves water at home.

“One of my favorite ways to save water at home is in the shower. I changed my shower heads from 2.5 gallons per minute (GPM) to 1.25 GPM. Not only do you save water, but you also save a lot of energy by not having to heat it. In addition to the shower heads, I installed an inline flow-control valve to turn the volume down even more. Another tip is to ensure your hot water source is nearby so you don’t have to wait long for the hot water to get to you.”

Thank you, Mark, for sharing ways we can practice sustainability at home!
