7 10 CARE To recycle carpet tiles that have reached the end of their product life cycle, we started the CARE programme in January 2009, along with the Vanheede Environment Group. By converting m² of old tiles into secondary fuel, we reduced CO 2 emissions by eight tonnes Quality certification For modulyss, quality is a top priority. We have had an ISO 9001 quality certificate for years. 12 REACH modulyss complies with the strict European REACH standards. minimum70 In October 2008, we became the first European manufacturer to bring an ecological carpet tile to market Minimum70.

20 53 dback This felt backing helps to optimise the acoustical performance in sound absorption (αw) and impact noise rating ( Lw), depending on the carpet structure. They achieve respectively an αw value of minimum 0.30 and a ΔLw value of 34 db. The ideal solution for buildings with additional acoustic requirements. This has been tested in accordance with the ISO 354 standard. ECNZ Environmental Choice of New Zealand The ECNZ certificate is a label program, conferred to stimulate sustainable product development, which requires i.a. a minimum recycled content in the backing. All modulyss eco-products have obtained this certificate since July

21 55 In-groove, carpet tiles that capture dust In-groove carpet tiles are 6 times better in capturing and retaining fine dust than hard floors. They contribute to a purer interior air in the work and living environment. GUI Gesellschaft für Umweltund Innenraumanalytik In-groove is designed to reduce the concentration of fine dust in the air and has been tested by GUI. This independent German Testing Institute specialises in the analysis of interior air quality. IN-GROOVE 21

22 70% becomes 100% All modulyss eco products use the Econyl yarns of Aquafil, the recycled material of which has now been increased from 70% to 100% post industrial and post consumer polyamide 6 waste. Econyl 100% 70% recycled 58 CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) The first international standard that sets forth the social responsibility of organisations and sets a number of criteria. This standard is used worldwide as a guideline for developing a CSR approach in companies. modulyss has operated in compliance with the ISO standard since Light Reflection Value (LRV) of carpet tiles The light reflection value is the quantity of light that is reflected by the carpet when the latter is lit by a light source. The value is determined by the colour and structure of the carpet. The higher the value, the more light is reflected. All modulyss carpet tile collections are tested by the CSTB (FR) and obtain excellent values, thereby contributing to a lower energy consumption in an office environment. 22
