Lay-Z-Spa® Sustainability

Lay-Z-Spa® is part of the Bestway® family, and Bestway® take sustainability seriously. Bestway® understands that innovation is key to unlocking circular practices. Bestway® relentlessly researches new ways to minimise environmental impact and maximise clean energy. They collaborate with global partners to implement and discover the best methods to utilise green solutions for achieving a more sustainable future.

When it comes to production, Bestway® strives to be sustainably responsible by making use of renewable energy and recycling waste materials. This requires product design that considers not just how objects will be used, but also the materials they’re made of, and their disposal.

Bestway® has been on a mission to transform materials within packaging by replacing non-recyclable plastics with greener options. This includes switching, in places, from foam EPE to recyclable corrugated cardboard and more sustainable PE and PET material. 

Bestway® values transparent action and recognises that continued efforts are needed to reach new milestones in environmental sustainability and resource conservation. Bestway® continues to focus on five key areas: energy, solar, waste, packaging, and biodiversity & plantation in order to contribute toward creating a safer environment for everyone to inhabit.
