Sustainability - Over The Carpet

At a time when the world is struggling to bring down CO2 emissions, a yarns company of leading carpet group Beaulieu International Group is offering a new yarn that claims to bring down the usual emission from the manufacturing process to a mere 25 per cent, reports Jozef De Coster. The polyamide 6 yarn Beaulieu Yarns, a company of the leading carpet group BIG (Beaulieu International Group, with a turnover in 2018 of $2.3 billion), claims to be the first yarn producer worldwide to offer a polyamide 6 yarn of which the CO2 emission is only 25 per cent of the usual emission. Questions This development raises interesting questions: how will carpet manufacturers react? Are they willing to pay a higher price for a carpet yarn of which the unique selling proposition is that CO2 emissions are a lot lower? Is Beaulieu Yarns taking a commercial risk? Highlights • EqoBalance PA6 • TÜV SÜD certification • Life cycle assessment • Important advantages • Reducing CO2 emissions • International award Conclusion: Beaulieu Yarns offers its customers in the contract, automotive and residential carpet market a drop-in alternative solution, delivering the same quality and performance as the fossil-based equivalents, and enabling them to contribute to a sustainable future through less use of fossil resources and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
