becoming a green company in the carpet world
6 May - World Kids Colouring Day the natural colours in carpets
Full colour (but natural!)
On 6 May, “Colour Day' is celebrated all over the world.”an event dedicated to children who, as we know, love colours, as a game but also as a means of expression.
On World Kids Colouring Day, little ones are invited to make the world a more colourful, and more beautiful, place.
However, the use of colours in the production of furniture elements is not child's play, but a key point for companies wishing to make a “green” turn.
Using only natural colours in carpets has long been a staple of ours. Our signature on the carpets, together with the brand “Let's go green”also represents this attention.
This is why many of our products are “Azo free”, a certification that guarantees the respect of a natural choice, precisely with regard to the quality of the colours used.
On the other hand, our customers (and in general all people approaching a product or brand) are now used to looking for the brand of this eco-conscious choice, aimed at respect for the environment and people's health.
colourful yet environmentally friendly carpets and doormats
“Azo free”: only in this way is the colour of carpets natural
Azo free“ means without azo dyes, or azocolourants, which are azobenzene derivatives, compounds that release toxic substances that are highly harmful to health.
Calling the Azo Free certificate an “eco-friendly” choice might make it sound like a light-hearted thing. In reality it is a very serious aspect of production, because it defines the absence of heavy metals in the objects produced such as nickel, cadmium, mercury, lead and chromium (VI).
This translates into products that do not stimulate allergies - by contact or inhalation - but also production processes that do not pollute the environment, respecting the direction given by the European Union, which has classified these heavy metals among the “priority hazardous substances”, restricting their use.
Let's go Green by Olivo Tappetitificazioni Azo-Free A world full of colours, which for the children will be a source of joy and reflection on the beauty of diversity, becomes the subject of awareness also for adults.
Colour certainly implies energy, emotionality, but nowadays it must also be associated with a reversal of the use of chemicals and production processes that are harmful to people (both those who work in the industry and those who bring objects produced by industry into their homes).
For us at Olivo Tappeti a colourful, beautiful house must first and foremost be healthy.
a home that is safe for people and the environment
