1000 Flowers for the Planet - #499 Choose Recycled Rugs
If you like to purchase recycled goods then you
may consider recycled rugs, mats and carpets when looking for flooring
materials. Rugs and mats can be made of recycled materials such as polypropylene,
plastic shopping bags and cotton, and carpet can be made from recycled plastic
bottles, bottle caps and used tyres. The recycling of materials has the benefit
of reducing landfill, reducing the amount of virgin materials required to
manufacture product and the bonus of extending the life of resources. For some,
this won’t be the way to go, particularly if you want to keep plastic out of
your life, but others will look at it from a different angle, so it’s an
option.
