Sustainability is key

Tapibel is a passionate carpet manufacturer from Pelt (Belgium). They offer flooring concepts for  every space. Their goal? Sparking creativity with innovative carpet tile collections and wall-to-wall carpet.

It’s a true family company. They have been passing on the knowledge of carpet production from generation to generation since 1970.

Werner Verweyen (Managing Director):

“Tapibel is always looking for sustainable innovations to make the world and carpet greener. We are convinced that ecology and sustainability go hand in hand.”

One of their sustainable labels is ‘Ecofuse’. It’s the latex-free ecological alternative for the coating of carpet tiles and wall-to-wall carpet.

As their partner-supplier Shark Solutions processes the PVB into pellets and dispersions and delivers it to Tapibel. From there, they use it as the precoat and secondary backing in many of their carpets.

Follow Tapibel’s example and replace your traditional virgin, oil-based SBR latex binder with carpet made from our sustainable PVB dispersion. This is why:

  • it’s a sustainable binder for the precoat and the double backing
  • the material is sourced from 100% recycled post-consumer content
  • it contains no biocide and has a shelf life of 12 months
  • the pricing is stable since it’s not related to volatile oil pricing
  • there are no availability issues, it’s produced in Europe
