Best Base: 25 years of sustainable innovation in underlays
Best Base has been a trusted name in carpet underlays for 25 years. What makes the brand stand out? Consistently high quality and the use of sustainable materials.
A quarter century of sustainable progress
The very first roll of Best Base was produced in Wijchen in the year 2000: a carpet underlay with a core of recycled polyurethane foam. What started as an innovative product has grown into a cornerstone in the flooring industry.
Since its introduction, Best Base has focused on developing underlays that are not only functional but also contribute to a healthier planet. Through consistent investment in research and development, a product range has emerged that meets the highest quality standards while remaining environmentally friendly.
The Best Base collection consists of underlays made from 100% recycled polyurethane foam. These products support a circular economy by giving waste a new purpose, while providing a stable and comfortable underlay foundation.
Milestones in sustainable initiatives
Over the past 25 years, Best Base has taken several steps that highlight its commitment to sustainability:
- Use of recycled materials: Best Base underlays are manufactured using 100% recycled polyurethane foam, contributing to waste reduction and a circular economy.
- Green Choice label: Best Base’s eco-friendly products are easy to identify by the Green Choice logo, helping customers consciously choose sustainable options.
- Sector-specific solutions: The development of products such as Oceanbase Contract, a flame-retardant underlay with IMO certification tailored for the maritime sector.
These initiatives have not only earned recognition within the industry but also increased trust among customers who value sustainability.
