Visit to Aquafil's Regeneration Plant, Slovenia

In 2010, Desso launched EcoBase®; a new carpet tile backing that is 100% safely recyclable in its own production process. The separation of carpet fibres and the backing of used carpet tiles takes place in Desso's Refinity® plant. Two material streams are produced and after an additional purification stage, the carpet fibres are converted back to the basic material and returned to the yarn manufacturer for production of new yarn. From the onset, Desso recognised that in order to achieve its Cradle to Cradle® goal, co-operation and commitment is needed from key partners. As part of this commitment, Desso is now launching over 60% of its carpet tile range with Econyl® yarn from Aquafil S.P.A.; a yarn made from 100% recycled content, including post-consumer carpet fibres from Desso's Refinity® plant. During a recent visit to Aquafil's regeneration plant in Slovenia, Stef Kranendijk, CEO Desso stated: 'We are proud to be here at Aquafil's regeneration plant and to announce that Desso will transfer the majority of its carpet tile volume to Econyl®, a yarn made from 100% recycled content. This is a conscious choice by Desso to ensure that our volume products are transferred to Econyl® yarn, in order to make the biggest positive environmental impact. Next to that, it fits perfectly within our Cradle to Cradle® strategy of closing the loop, and we are extremely proud to have such an outstanding partner in Aquafil, who supports our long-term vision".
