What’s this I hear about a corn-based carpet fiber?

Well, hold onto your scarecrows!

Mohawk has introduced the first bio-based fiber that’s made partially from corn sugar.

SmartStrand, made with DuPont Sorona polymer, represents a breakthrough in carpet fiber technology, producing a superior type of carpet fiber that combines exceptional durability with permanent, engineered in-stain protection that won’t wash or wear off, while, at the same time, offering environmental benefits such a reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions vs. petroleum-based carpet fiber.
