Anker introduces sustainable flame-retardant carpet

摘要

ANKER, Devan and Shark Solutions have joined hands to create the world's first flame retardant aviation carpet using a recycled binder. The PVB binder reuses laminated glass, from windshields and architectural/building glass, that otherwise would go to landfill. Anker will soon introduce these carpets and phase out traditional non-sustainable carpets. German carpet manufacturer Anker is the first company to offer flame retardant carpets for aviation that are made with a recycled binder. In the search for a more sustainable binder, Anker discovered the PVB from Shark Solutions, a Danish cleantech company focused on giving a new life to post-consumer PVB. Properties of the aviation carpet with PVB as binder are the same as those of traditional non-sustainable carpets. The market has been looking for this type of solutions for a long time.
