           THE CONDOR GROUP
           The Condor Group accelerates to
           a sustainable future
           BY reducing emissions, reusing materials, and
           recycling products for circular development, the
           Condor Group is right on track in achieving their
           sustainability vision ‘On a Roll to Zero Emission’.
             With all eyes on conserving the planet and
           making the world a better place for today’s and
           future generations. With that in mind, Condor
           Group connects with stakeholders for circular
           developments and optimizes their production
           facilities to continue ‘Covering the world’ in a
           sustainable manner.
           A closer step towards circularity with Alloa
           Our sustainable production is a huge step towards
           a sustainable future, but in the end, the products
           have to be more sustainable as well. That is
           why the Condor Group commissioned its R&D
           department years ago to develop circular products.
           With the arrival of our Alloa (All Over Again) brand,
           this dream has become reality. Artificial grass
           expert Condor Grass was the first with Alloa Pura
           100, a fully recyclable artificial grass. But Condor
           Cartex, the automotive supplier of the Condor
           Group, soon followed with their fully recyclable
           car mats. Today, Condor Cartex is already able
           to use up to 50% recycled content in its Alloa
           car mats and a 100% recycled product is under
           development. That product will fully close the loop,
           which is a major step towards circular development
           in the automotive industry.
           On the way to 100% circular carpets
           The next step? Use all this knowledge and
   116     developments towards circularity for the benefit
           of residential carpets. And last year, with the
           introduction of the Alloa Carpets collection from
           our member Edel Carpets the time was ripe. Our
           first fully recyclable carpets were born.
             It follows a long line of sustainable products,
           starting over a decade ago with our collaboration
           with Econyl to numerous steps with recycled raw
           materials to this fully recyclable product. It brings us
           ever closer to producing a recyclable carpet from   Silky
           100% recycled raw materials. Our ultimate goal!
                                                                               #Tide: Recycled content with extra

                                                                               collectors, often local fishermen, get a fair wage

                                                                               locally and #tide helps local communities collect
