[Wielsbeke, Belgium] Beaulieu Flooring Solutions, a division of the Beaulieu International Group (B.I.G.), has unveiled Rewind, a latex-free carpet designed to help the trade show and special events industries go greener. According to the company, Rewind is a concept that offers both economic and ecological advantages as part of a strategy centered on corporate social responsibility.

The company said Rewind is 100 percent polyolefin, which means it is 100 percent latex-free. Consequently the production process is very environmentally friendly. Compared with traditional carpet, no water is used and gas consumption is cut by 83 percent, the company added. This green production process reduces total CO₂ emission by 35 percent, the company said. Because Rewind contains no latex, it can be fully recycled into a pure recyclate that can be re-used as a raw material for the injection molding of new, high grade products.

Beaulieu added that Rewind proves its added value here as well and guarantees a first-rate product every time: strong, durable, low VOC content and with fire classification Bfl. Thanks to its lower total weight, the rolls are easier to handle and more ergonomic to install.

“As the market leader in needle felt floor coverings, we are proud to be at the forefront of this technologically innovative product. Rewind is the result of collaborative efforts by B.I.G. employees across all divisions. Rewind is also more than a product, it is a philosophy in which economy and ecology merge into one. That ensures that Rewind creates added value for every stakeholder and the environment, at every stage of its lifecycle,” said Wim Coppens, general manager, Needle Felt.
