GREEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH Legend is Cradle to Cradle Certified™ We turn a bottle into a tile backing A water bottle contains a vital resource for our wellbeing. But did you know that the bottle itself has lots of applications and that we have managed to utilise one of them by recycling used water bottles into a patented Ecotrust felt backing for carpet tiles? An innovative production technique turns bottles into a soft yet strong PET felt material that is long lasting and has great acoustic performance. PET felt is both recycled and regenerable. From regenerated fishing nets to tile faces Fishing nets account for one tenth of the waste in the ocean. Abandoned fishing nets can drift for months or years and be a threat to sea life. At ege carpets we use Aquafil's ECONYL® yarns produced from used fishing nets. Once the fishing nets are collected and cleaned, they are physically and chemically broken down and reborn as strong and hardw earing yarns for carpets. The yarns are both regenerated and regenerable. Read more about our carbon footprint in our CSR report at egecarpets.com 4
