For some time now, the project group consisting of Best Wool Carpets (project leader), James and Bond Textile Research had the idea of ​​developing a fully recyclable biobased carpet that consists entirely of natural materials and distances itself from synthetic products such as latex. In this way, these partners bridge the gap between (scientific) research and an application in the business world with a great unique market value. T The project idea is revolutionizing the production of textile floor coverings. By applying innovative and ecologically responsible (bio) processes it will be possible for the first time to completely close the biological cycle of textile floor covering, because all waste can be taken back for a next destination.

This project was made possible in part by a contribution from the European Regional Development Fund, the national government and the province of Noord-Brabant in the context of OP-Zuid. The project idea is now being developed in a strong partnership in the next two years until 2012. The aim is to be able to present the revolutionary carpet at the Floriade 2012 to a wide audience.
