New Zealand's housing agency includes wool carpets in supply contracts, boosting local industries.

New Zealand's state housing agency, Kāinga Ora, has decided to allow wool carpet providers to bid for supply contracts, reversing a previous exclusion. This change was welcomed by the wool industry and supported by housing and agriculture ministers, who see it as a step to support local industries. The tender will cover 2,650 new homes and 3,000 renovations by June 2026, highlighting wool's benefits like fire resistance and hypoallergenic properties.
