Desso Group Kick Off Cradle to Cradle

Desso is a leading player in the design and development of carpet tiles and broadloom for both business and consumer markets and artificial grass pitches. Thanks to its high quality and creative custom-made carpets, it is also a well-known player in the hotel, marine and aviation sectors. Desso Sports Systems is a leader in the field of artificial grass pitches for football (in top stadiums like Arsenal and Wembley), hockey and tennis.
Desso operates in 110 countries. Its innovation strategy focuses on Creativity, Functionality and Cradle to Cradle. Superior design is achieved in partnership with the Circles of Architects worldwide.

In signing a partnership agreement with the Hamburg-based Environmental Protection Encouragement Agency (EPEA), Desso has become the first carpet manufacturer in EMEA to adopt the Cradle to Cradle design. It marks Desso's radical decision to move beyond 'mere' sustainability in producing its carpets and artificial grass. In the Cradle to Cradle principles, products are made from pure components that are easy to disassemble, in order to create new products (=up-cycling) in both the biological and technical cycles.
