Beaulieu Commercial Using 100% Green Energy

Adairsville, GA, February 27, 2008-- Beaulieu Commercial has become the first commercial carpet manufacturer to replace 100 percent of the energy used to power its operations with renewable energy.

Designated as a member of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partners’ Leadership Club, Beaulieu Commercial will use green energy to directly power a portion of its manufacturing operations and will offset its remaining energy use through the purchase of Renewable Energy Credits, or RECs, from wind power producers throughout the country.

Although not required by the EPA, the company’s renewable power sources are all third-party certified by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions’ Green-E program.

In addition to its energy conservation and waste management practices, Beaulieu Commercial is the first carpet manufacturer to include post-consumer recycled content in all of its products. The company’s Nexterra tile backing leads the industry with 85 percent post-consumer recycled content.
