Beaulieu Canada is the FIRST carpet mill to source 100% of its energy from renewable sources: hydroelectricity and wind power.
In one year, the renewable hydroelectric energy used by Beaulieu Canada saves 59,465,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere.
By using a Solarwall®, every year Beaulieu Canada saves 322 tons of greenhouse gas emissions from being released into the atmosphere.
Beaulieu Commercial’s mills now obtain 100% of their electricity through wind power. They purchase over 9 million kWh of REC’s (renewable energy credits) which is the equivalent to powering 725 households for one year.
For every square yard of polyester carpet, Beaulieu recycles approximately 36 2-litre bottles.
100% of Beaulieu’s products meet or exceed the Green Label or the Green Label Plus Program qualifications.
Beaulieu has realized an approximate 40% reduction in the use of water in manufacturing by recycling latex-contaminated wastewater back into the production system – this is the equivalent of 3,285,000 toilet flushes a year.
In 2007, Beaulieu Canada reduced its overall electricity consumption by more than 10% - or the equivalent to 22,000,000 100 W light bulbs being lit for one hour.
