We're not sure what you're comparing our carpet to. Most wool carpets have stain repellent applied, and are constructed with more toxic adhesives than the ones we offer. I want to do something good for the environment.
Recycled carpet is made with polyester fiber from plastic bottles.
Polyester stains easily and wears poorly. To make such a material into a carpet requires the addition of a variety of chemicals. We believe it is better to close the loop by slowing down or stopping the production of plastic in the first place. In terms of the impact on your health, purchasing a recycled carpet over a wool one is like buying canned vegetables over freshly picked ones. Regular carpet manufacturers blend nylon with wool fiber in a berber to create fill and keep the cost down.
