Bremworth Whanganui putting wool carpets into rural schools

Summary by Ground News
Whanganui's Bremworth plant is producing wool carpets to be placed in rural schools instead of the Government's proposed nylon carpets. The Ministry of Education's plan to install $8 million worth of nylon carpet in up to 760 small or rural schools around the country was met with backlash from farming communities. The nylon carpet, made from petroleum-derived plastic, is from Milliken Group, an American-based company.
