Matting and the Environment
It may be cliché, but the environment has never been such a hot topic. At COBA we aspire to continuously improve our products and processes to reduce our impact on the planet. And like many products in our lives, floor mats rely on modern materials to provide them with the most beneficial characteristics.
Here at COBA, we want to find ways to eliminate the risks of slips or fatigue in the workplace whilst causing the least amount of harm possible to the environment.
Reducing energy use
COBA carbon-offsets all the gas used at its main facility in Warwickshire, which recently totalled 9.13 tonnes over a four-month period. The building also features solar panelling on its roof to produce more clean energy and to further reduce the organisation’s dependence on the grid

Eco-friendly packaging
Yes, our packaging is eco-friendly! We are pleased to announce that all our cardboard and plastic packaging is now 100% recyclable. So, whenever you receive a product from us, you can recycle the packaging that it arrives in.
Our opinion about plastic
Plastic has been important for some time. The material offers resistance and durability whilst also being lightweight. In the coming years, our goal is to increase the use of recycled material and find better alternatives where possible.
Our opinion about rubber
Rubber is also a material of natural origin and, therefore, renewable. It has many beneficial features, from flexibility to durability, and is very suitable for use on mats that must be comfortable and resistant.
