Title
[ GUT | Carpets tested for a better living environment ]
Description
On December 4 1990, European carpet manufacturers joined in Aachen in Germany to form GUT. Their goal: to ensure environmental friendliness and consumer protection at every stage of the carpet's life-cycle.
Its founding fathers proclaimed environmental and consumer protection to be a basic element of their company's culture. They realised that the environmental issues couldn't be solved by one single company nor on a national basis: manufacturers - even if they were competing against each other on the market - needed to act together and across the European continent.
To achieve this ambition, they associated the following partners in the value chain: the chemical industry, the wool producers and their trade associations CEFIC (European Chemical Industry Council), EATP (European Association for Textile Polyolefins), Wools of New Zealand and EPDLA.
