Fletco Carpets believe strongly in finding solutions that are healthy for people and the environment. EcoTEX® is our totally new, highly innovative felt backing, made of over 85% recycled PET materials, equivalent to at least 50 0.5L post-consumer PET bottles per m2. Statistics show that over 1,000,000 PET bottles are sold every single minute of the day around the world, but that under 50% of the plastic is recycled. The rest is either incinerated, dumped or ends up in nature. That’s why we are delighted to be able to get more out of PET by using it to produce high quality carpet backing. The finished product is composed of four layers, carefully selected with the focus on durability, total product weight, flexible production, comfort and sustainability. This new felt backing contains no bitumen, PVC, latex PFOA, PFOS or other harmful substances, and has very low VOC emissions.
