With the increase in full-time and regular home working set-ups, chair mats are becoming more popular thanks to their carpet-protecting design. However, the use of plastics in their construction has led to some concerns about the sustainability of these products. That's why Birmingham-based matting specialists First Mats have expanded their range to include more eco-friendly versions of their popular chair mats.
“Providing consumers with products that are less harmful to the environment is an increasingly important aspect of our product range growth,” states Marketing Director, Richard O’Connor, “So we’re pleased to offer our customers a greater choice of recyclable chair mats made from recycled materials.”
The 100 per cent recycled PET chair mats on offer is already popular with eco-conscious consumers, backed up by extremely positive reviews. The newer eco-polymer chair mats are also 100 per cent recyclable, free of phthalates and made using 50 per cent renewable energy. A one-year guarantee is also provided with all Chair Mats sold.

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
