Recycled Content

Utilizes 100% post-industrial recycled resin, minimizing raw material use and waste.

Closed-Loop Manufacturing

Captures and reintegrates over 99.9% of waste, reducing environmental impact.

Energy Efficiency

Employs energy-efficient techniques, resulting in a carbon footprint of 1.5kg CO2 equivalent versus 9.6kg for traditional methods.

Carbon Offsetting

Partners with Carbonfund.org for forest conservation and reforestation, ensuring carbon negativity.

66 By reducing our carbon emissions, and ultimately achieving Net Zero, we can help tackle global warming and climate change"

Carbon Neutral Carpet Tiles

On their journey to Net Zero, they had to find new ways of reducing their carbon emissions to help tackle climate change and reduce global warming. Ultimately, all their products are third-party independently verified as embodied carbon neutral. This vital goal drives them to develop such innovations as their unique BioBase low carbon backing system and to invest in products such as the world’s first carbon negative recycled yarn.
