GOLD COLLECTION DESSO
First carpet tile manufacturer in the world to achieve C2C gold level certification Desso, a leading carpet company and part of the Tarkett Group, has reached a major new milestone in its Cradle to Cradle (C2C) journey in becoming the first carpet tile manufacturer in the world to achieve Cradle to Cradle Gold level certification for a new carpet tile collection.
The Gold certification is the culmination of seven years of hard work and effort, inspired by the goal of transitioning to the circular economy, based on C2C principles.
The new Gold Collection comes standard with an EcoBase backing, that contains upcycled re-engineered calcium carbonate (chalk) from local drinking water companies, which is 100% recyclable in Desso’s own production process. In addition, the collection contains ECONYL, a 100% regenerated nylon made from recovered waste materials including post-consumer yarn waste from DESSO's Refinity plant.
On average products in the Gold Collection are made from 80% recyclable materials and contain 52% recycled content. They offer very low VOCs and contribute to LEED v4 points.
Roland Jonkhoff, managing director, Desso and vice president Carpet EMEA, Tarkett commented: “Through the vision and hard work of our people and stakeholders we are delighted to have reached this important new milestone in our circular economy journey.
“Alongside this, the innovations that are required on our path to becoming a C2C company continue to contribute to our commercial success. This demonstrates to us and others that a business strategy coupled to strong CSR goals does underpin commercial success.”

GRAND HERRINGBONE CRUCIAL TRADING
Renowned for creating innovative and diverse floorcoverings, Crucial Trading’s Grand Herringbone range is an exciting addition to the already extensive Sisal collection. Made from the finest plant fibre and woven together to create a tactile chevron design, Grand Herringbone has a natural sheen that will add interest to any room.
A natural plant leaf fibre, Sisal is both hardwearing and versatile. Obtained from the plant Agave, the fibres are removed from the leaf by a process of decortication after which they are washed, dried and graded before being spun into a yarn suitable for use in a variety of end-uses, including floorcoverings. The end result is a resilient flooring which can be offered in a wide range of styles and weaves including herringbone, twill, plaid and boucle - designs to suit all personalities.
Made from 100% Sisal, Grand Herringbone is hardwearing and versatile and is suitable for both high traffic areas such as hallways and staircases as well as the perfect choice for contract areas for example new developments, office spaces and hotels. It’s not only highly durable but also maintains a high-end and luxurious look fitting beautifully within both contemporary and classic interiors. Available in 4m width, Grand Herringbone can be purchased as broadloom and can also be effortlessly transformed into a beautiful bespoke rug or runner.
Available in six rich tones, varying from earthy Chestnut and Fossil to rich Praline and Golden Sands, there is a colour way to complement every space.
