Yorkshire carpet tile manufacturer Burmatex®’s product ranges demonstrate the
company’s commitment both to sustainability and to UK manufacturing.

The company’s sustainability principles, eco2matters, help to provide the right
business focus, trading responsibly and working towards Net Zero in a sustainable
manner. Burmatex®’s latest product launch, which was debuted at Clerkenwell Design
Week, is balance collection®, comprised of balance grid®, balance ratio® and balance
scale®.

Manufactured with Universal Fibers®’ ground-breaking Thrive® matter yarn which
is C2C Certified Material Health Certificate™ Silver, the world’s first carbon negative yarn.
This, combined with Burmatex®’s unique BioBase® recycled backing – makes balance
collection® carbon neutral.

The innovative Thrive® matter yarn is created from 100% post-industrial recycled resin which results in a total of 90% recycled content. Then, over 99.9% of the waste in production is captured and fed back into the manufacturing process. This results in a low product to CO2 footprint at 1.5kg CO2 equivalent, as compared to 9.6kg CO2 equivalent for virgin materials (based on Nylon 6). This already low number is brought below zero by partnering with Carbonfund.org in support of their forest conservation and reforestation projects around the world.
