As Earth Day is approaching, we wanted to showcase our environmentally friendly products that are manufactured to be more sustainable by using raw materials, recycled plastics and reusable matter. If you're looking to transform your home to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly, these products are perfect for you!
Recycled Carpet-
Our patterned Axiom area Rug is a great option when sustainability is top priority. Axiom provides you with sustainability and style all woven together in one. This collection is crafted with environmentally friendly yarn that is made from post-consumer plastic water bottles.
Our Timeless Values I carpet is also another great sustainable option. This carpet is also made from used plastic bottles that create a durable, long-lasting, soft carpet.
Sustainable Hardwood-
Who knew you could have both stunning flooring and it be environmentally friendly all in one! Meet our Palisade 5" White Teak Hardwood, the best sustainable hardwood option! This hardwood is made from a harvested plantation of white teak species, not from natural forests.
You’re probably curious as to what a teak plantation is. A teak plantation is a government managed plantation where there are rules regarding the age, size and number of felled trees yearly as well as a strict replanting program. This ultimately takes away from the illegal logging and deforestation issue in natural forests.
Sustainable Tile-
Tile as a whole is the ultimate sustainable product on the market because of the raw materials that are used to create the tiles, making tile abundant and highly sustainable.
Porcelain tiles have a low environmental impact at all stages of their life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials in selected quarries to industrial manufacturing carried out using efficient energy and water systems, and finally to their disposal, being fully recyclable.
Ceramic tile is able to be reused after a building is demolished. The tiles are usually recovered and recycled as filler material. Best of all, Ceramic tile is free of harsh chemicals, plastics and volatile organic compounds.
Environmentally Friendly Window Treatments-
Our Designer Screen Shades are the ultimate sustainable product with the fabrics made with recovered shoreline plastic. As our beaches and shorelines are consumed with plastic everyday, it is vital to our environment that we recover these plastics and find sustainable ways to reuse them in our world around us. Hunter Douglas has done just that and is proving that we can in fact clean our environment and make good of it. Products made out of plastics are long lasting, durable, mold and mildew resistant which are all great reasons to go sustainable throughout your home!
With so many options of products being made out of recycled plastic, we can do our part and contribute to a sustainable life and become more environmentally aware by choosing products that are sustainable and made from reused materials.
