To a sustainable company and society by creating products that are friendly to people and the environment.

The history of the environment in the Sumie Textile Group has a long history, and about 50 years ago when the production of carpets and curtains was accelerated by the residential industry, the construction of a pollution -free Nara factory was built in consideration of drainage and smoke processing. It starts with.
Since then, the Group is a social responsibility of the manufacturer under the development philosophy of "K (health) K (environment)+A (amenities: comfort)" on the more and more serious environmental issues. We have been working to reduce the environmental impact of our products.

Horizontal recycled carpet tiles " ECOS® "

In the past, used tile carpets had to be reclaimed.
The Group has established the Ecos® Recycle System, which coordinates the strengths of industrial waste regeneration, and has a “ECOS® Recycle System,” which circulates tile carpets between the same products. By introducing the best manufacturing equipment for recycling, recycled material ratio, CO that greatly exceeds the conventional product.2We have achieved a reduction contribution rate.
ECOS®, a horizontal recycling -type recycling carpet that connects resources to the future, is an only one product that combines environmental consideration and economic nature, which fulfills the “responsibility to make” as a manufacturer.
We will contribute to the realization of a sustainable low-carbon society while building a relationship between customers, business partners, cooperating companies and Win-Win.

About Osaka Prefecture Certified Recycling Products

Osaka Prefecture Certified Recycling Products is a system operated by Osaka Prefecture as one of the basic measures for the formation of a recycling -oriented society, and is particularly contributed to recycled products that are particularly contributed to recycling use. Tile carpet certification standards are required to meet the product certification standards such as eco mark.

Target product

ECOS® has been certified as an eco -mark -class ratio in the industry's top -class regenerative material, so 4 series (278 color scheme) was certified.
The Osaka Prefecture certified recycling products include "Naniwa Eco -good" and "Naniwa Eco Eco -Good Next", which collects and recycled the used products of recycled products, and ECOS® is also compatible with "Naniwa Eco Eco -Good Nex". I am doing it.

Japan's highest level of regeneration ratio "ECOS NEO ™" series

The "ECOS NEO ™" series released in 2023 is the highest level of regeneration ratio in Japan by using recycled materials on the surface in addition to conventional backing materials.₂Reduction contribution rate 61% ^※Is realized.( * For ECOS NEO ™ EX. In -house research as of March 2023)

Feature

• Japan's highest level of regeneration ratio 81 %^※
• Co₂Reduction contribution rate 61 %^※(Comparison value with the general same standard dyed product)
  Conventional recycling products are produced separately for the backing material and combined with the fabric, so it is applied to the extra excess.
  ECOS® backing materials realize one -line production by directly kneading the recycled PVC powder into the backing material.₂Is reduced.
  * For ECOS NEO ™ EX
• Energy saving without polluting water by using the undiluted solution.
• The raw materials for regenerative materials are limited to Japanese tile carpets
  Backing material regeneration material is limited to used tile carpets made in Japan. We are building a system to maintain stable prices and supply.
• Part of the nylon thread "SEACLE" (manufactured by Sumie Techno Shiga Factory), which has regenerated domestic waste fishing network (only for ECOS ID-1522EP)

A nylon yarn that recycled the recycling resin nylon "REAMIDE®" derived from the fishing net for a sustained recycling -oriented society.

* Revitalization nylon resin "REAMIDE®" is a registered trademark of Refine Bath Group Co., Ltd.

The "ECOS®" series has won numerous awards as the standard of the next -generation tile carpet that combines excellent environmental performance, economy and design, such as a high regenerative material ratio.

Selection of the award

• The winners have developed a technology to collect used tile carpets from the market and commercialize the PVC resin used on the back as a recycled tile carpet. In addition, a circulation system for abandoned tile carpets was built.
• Conventionally, used tile carpets have been landfilled as industrial waste, and recycled products are not supplied to the market, and there is no demand for recycled materials produced by recycling companies, and the collection and recycling business has been established. The vicious cycle of not was an issue.
  In order to solve this issue, (1) development (investment, etc.) of recovery and recycling projects, (2) (2) recovery network of waste products and quality improvement of regenerative materials, (3) support for recycling companies, all of our tile carpets lineup. We did an effort to change to a recycling product. As a result, the demand for recycling materials was created, and it was possible to provide the market to the market at the same quality and cost as conventional products.

• The winner's efforts reduce landfill disposal by realizing horizontal recycling and CO.₂In addition to contributing to reductions, resource -saving and energy -saving, it has a high track record as a business, such as launching recycling products into the market and creating demand for recycling materials. We highly appreciate that it contributes to the realization of a sustainable recycling -oriented society.

• The use of recycling products in architectural materials is not easily expanded in Japan. One of the reasons is said to be in closed supply chains in the construction industry. In such a market, the company already has a stable supply chain, and is in a position to link the vein. We hope that these examples will be helpful and the spread of reuse recycling products will spread to the construction industry.
• By recycling the reclaimed tile carpet that has been reclaimed, and the dyeing process that occupies the environmental impact of the fiber fabric, it realizes the reduction of water usage, power consumption, and drainage. The point is evaluated.
• The Win-Win scheme, which supports the collection and regeneration company, buys it as a large-primed recycled man, and builds a recycling system, can be highly evaluated. It is also wonderful that we are working from the manufacturing stage in consideration of the environment.
