Environmentally Preferable Products

Certified BRE!

In 2005, Antron® carpet fibres manufactured in Europe became the first and only carpet fibre awarded an Environmental Profile by BRE Certification. Environmental Profiles from BRE Certification are an internationally recognized third party certification awarded for products that demonstrate exceptional levels of environmental consideration in their sector.

Awarded the Environmental Profile ENP 337 for Antron® fibres and yarns from the Oestringen Germany manufacturing site, it demonstrates a significantly lower impact for Antron® than the European fibre industry benchmark. In fact, primary energy for the carpet fibres has been confirmed by BRE to be 30% less than the industry benchmark for nylon fibre manufacturing.

The certification process for Environmental Profiles identifies and assesses the environmental effects of building materials throughout their entire life cycle, including extraction, processing, construction, use and maintenance, and their eventual demolition and disposal.
