Leading British equestrian riding surfaces manufacturer Martin Collins Enterprises Ltd would like to assure past, present and future customers that their hugely successful CLOPF® fibre is safe and environmentally friendly.
The Environmental Agency recently confirmed they are withdrawing the automatic allowance for the use of shredded waste carpet in equestrian surfaces (LRWP43)
Martin Collins Enterprises Ltd do not use waste carpet in their world renowned performance fibre, CLOPF®, only virgin material is used and sourced. This ensures the product does not have contaminants that may come from using post-consumer material. The fibres they strictly use have been Laboratory analysed for Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) which are chemical substances that may pose a risk to health and the environment.
Nicholas Collins, General Manager said “We are pleased to confirm that the levels contained within our CLOPF® are well below the concentration limits stated in the Government guidance. Martin Collins Enterprises Ltd continue to raise the industry standards and will continue to provide the very best fibre to the equestrian market.”
CLOPF® was developed by Martin Collins and is arguably the best ‘binding’ fibre on the market. Adding the fibre into an existing sand surface will aid stability and provide more ‘cushion’ and energy return to the horse. With correct maintenance, a horse will work more ‘on top’ of the surface rather than ‘into’ it. It also has excellent moisture retaining qualities which should reduce watering in long dry spells.
