The Ground You Walk on: Modulyss Leads the Charge in Sustainable Flooring Solutions
In a world where sustainability is no longer optional but essential, architects and interior designers face the fascinating challenge of incorporating eco-friendly practices into their creations. modulyss, the premium brand under Belysse, has revolutionized the flooring industry by bridging Flemish tradition with sustainable innovation, showcasing their commitment toa circular economy with their Heritage and Artcore collections.
A Circular Approach to Flooring Innovation
The circular economy focuses on designing products that last, minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency. As a result, businesses in the design sector are more aware of their responsibility to reuse, repair, and recycle materials throughout the production process. This mindset is at the heart of modulyss’ approach to sustainable flooring solutions.
“In committing to sustainability as a cornerstone of our brand, we are proud to offer a substantial range of Cradle to Cradle Certified® (C2C) offerings in carpet tiles.”
Marie De Laet, Sustainability Manager for Belysse and modulyss,
The C2C certification is an internationally recognized standard issued by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, with products assessed on five key areas: water and soil stewardship, clean air and climate protection, material health, product circularity, and social fairness.
Modulyss: Championing Sustainability in Flooring
To meet the growing demand for sustainable flooring and acoustically efficient options, modulyss has developed a wide range of C2C Certified® products, including their comfortBackeco backing solution, which is PVC and bitumen-free and can be disassembled and recycled into a first-grade new backing. ComfortBackeco has been awarded a C2C Gold certificate, demonstrating modulyss’ commitment to both sustainability and enhanced acoustic performance.
Flemish Tradition Meets Sustainable Design: the Heritage Collection
Modulyss’ Heritage collection draws inspiration from the rich history and culture of Belgium, with designs influenced by five typical Flemish landscapes. The Dune, Meadow, and Polder collections in the Heritage range feature Econyl yarn made from 100% regenerated nylon and hold either Gold or Silver C2C certification, depending on the selected colour.
Artcore: Rewilding Interiors and Elevating Sustainability
The Artcore collection takes modulyss’ commitment to sustainability to new heights. With Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold in all four patterned collections, Artcore rewilds the interior world by creating unique patterned transitions that reconnect people with nature, fostering balance and well-being.
“As we most recently did with our Heritage and Artcore collections, we will continue to approach product development and new product design with C2C certification in mind, applying innovative strategies to the reuse and recycling of old materials.”
