Eco-Friendly

Protecting the environment is on everyone's minds these days. Do you have any carpets that are environmentally friendly?

TN: We're seeing a big push for eco-friendly, and there are a couple of things to remember when looking for "green" carpet. First, ask if the carpet is recyclable or made from recycled content. I suggest going with ones made from recycled content. Ask whether the carpet is made from renewable resources. Great options include wool, sisals, and woven grasses, or a carpet made in part from a plant, like Mohawk's SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona®. It offers high performance and is partially made from corn.
