Sedna Carpet - Environmentally Friendly Flooring
Recycled and Regenerated Super Soft Carpet
Carpet has never been known to be a particularly environmentally friendly product but Associated Weavers, who are one of Europe's leading carpet manufacturers, have been quietly developing their Sedna range that moves as close as we have seen to a carpet that is eco friendly.
They have made a range that is not only soft, luxurious and durable but also more kind to the environment than most other carpet ranges on the market. The environmentally friendly credentials come from the fact that the fibres in the pile are made with ECONYL®. This is a regenerated nylon which is a great option for carpets as it is hard wearing and super soft. Almost unbelievably the yarn is made from recycled waste material. The highlight of this recycling is that they source abandoned fishing nets that have been collected from the bottom of the sea, this is mixed with other recycled nylon products such as old carpet and regenerated into "new nylon".
Whilst this is great news for the planet they have made an almost more important step with this carpet - the backing is made from 100% recycled PET plastic bottles!
We think the challenge has been put down to the other carpet manufacturers to come up with their own ways of making carpet more friendly to our environment.
It is great to see that leading national retailers are supporting this carpet too - SCS have 2 ranges, Oceanus and Delphin.
