Beaulieu introduces first biomass-balance polyamide yarns


Beaulieu Yarns, the global supplier of high-quality synthetic polyamide and polypropylene yarns, has now offered sustainable versions of all its polyamide (PA6) yarns for carpets for residential and commercial use, including automotive.
A first for the carpet industry, new EqoBalance PA6 yarns follow the biomass balance approach, which ensures that at the very start of the supply chain, natural renewable raw materials can partially or even completely replace fossil resources in the production of polymers processed into yarns. By choosing these yarns, carpet tufters can contribute to a sustainable future through less use of fossil resources and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
The sustainable yarns from Beaulieu Yarns are conformed the TUV SUD certification standard CMS 71 "Certification of the use of renewable resources", which confirms the saving in fossil resources.
The potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as a result of the replacement of fossil use is calculated in a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). EqoBalance yarns hereby allow a reduction of up to 75 percent of CO2 eq/kg compared to our fossil-based yarns.
