Carpet Manufacturers and the Environment

By Russell Webb

The carpet industry has seen a modest transformation in the last few years. A previously unimpressive stance on environmental concerns had left a lot of environmental supporters grumbling.

Recently, the main players have changed their tune; no doubt because there’s some good profits down the line if they do. The current leaders in the green revolution are Interface, Shaw and Mohawk and the rest are not far behind.

These manufacturers are currently developing there own cradle-to-cradle solution for recycling the carpet they produce. This is wonderful news, and I expect to delve deeper into this subject as I explore the details. Stay tuned.
