Bentley Mills Now Offering Thrive Fiber

Los Angeles, CA, January 30, 2025-Bentley Mills will exclusively offer Thrive in its Universal Fibers’ solution-dyed yarn bank. Bentley reports that it is the industry’s first and only U.S. company to do so.

Part of the Bentley Premium Nylon yarn systems, Thrive-a Type 6,6 solution-dyed nylon-is among the most sustainable, high-performance carpet fibers available to the market today.

The Universal/Thrive partnership raises Bentley’s minimum percentage of recycled content to 75% in its yarn, while also creating lower carbon impact scores and increasing waste diversion from landfills in the yarn creation process. The use of Thrive has reduced the company’s carbon footprint by almost 50% on some products.

In addition to Thrive, the current Bentley Premium Nylon yarn system includes Econyl from Aquafil, the world’s only 100% regenerated and regenerable nylon.
