ege carpets’ tile backing gets awarded with Cradle to Cradle certification

Our carpet partner ege carpets has recently been awarded with the prestigious Cradle to CradleTM certification for their patented carpet tile backing. As a result, ege carpets is one step closer to cementing that their Ecotrust Backing is one of the most environmental-friendly tile backings on the market. A Cradle to CradleTM certification ensures that a carpet backing supplied by ege carpets is manufactured under conditions which ensure that valuable resources remain in a closed cycle, and in the same time customers can be assured that the carpets have minimal impact on pollution and that residual materials are recycled. The idea behind the Cradle to CradleTM certification is that the Earth’s finite resources should not go to waste. Instead they should be used in new contexts – with no detrimental effects on people or the environment. Something we really like here at Xworks.
