90 floors & flooring the World Of Hospitality Connect Naturals Newhey Carpets, one of the U.K’s leading manufacturers and designers of contract carpets for the hotel, leisure and entertainment sectors, are set to re-launch an eco-friendly stock collection. Connect Naturals now incorporates a basket weave design in 5 beautifully muted shades with 4 complimenting plain colourways manufactured using pure undyed wools. The stock collection retains the original Connect Naturals design and is still supplied using Newhey’s unique recycled backing material ‘evobac’ which is processed through one of the most environmentally friendly carpet backing lines in the world. Newhey realise that interior designers and specifiers are focusing more on providing healthy and sustainable environments for their clients, therefore, making sure their products are in line with these requirements. Connect Naturals is manufactured using 80% wool/20% nylon at 4 metres wide and offers 5 neutral colour choices suitable for a host of contract applications. Newhey introduced ‘evobac’ in 2013, taking advantage of its proficiency in high speed tufting technology and combining this with friendly solvent free thermoplastic technology. The backing sets a benchmark in sustainability with it being produced from recycled PET post-consumer plastic bottles. Newhey Carpets abide by a strict environmental policy, backed up with a seamless supply chain to ensure the highest degree of sustainability. This has resulted in key benefits such as 100% recycled pile yarns and the complete elimination of processing waste to landfill.
