Kara Biggs: Campaign for Wool General Manager on Kainga Ora revising their ban on wool carpets
There's confidence from the wool sector that Kainga Ora will learn the value of wool carpets. The social housing agency's back-tracking on a previous ban after using synthetic carpets for more than a decade. It will now allow wool carpet providers to tender for carpet and underlay contracts. Campaign for Wool general manager Kara Biggs told Andrew Dickens there's an opportunity to show Kainga Ora how wool can compete on price and value now. She says that wool is natural, flame resistant, warmer, and more absorbent, which means it's a better and healthier alternative for those in community housing.
