Sustainable carpet production, why is it needed?

production-ecosustainable-carpets sustainable production by Olivo Tappeti

Just look around, more and more companies are adopting environmentally sustainable production practices to reduce their environmental impact. It is not a trend, it is a real necessity to lighten the burden on a struggling planet. Already for some time in Olivo Tappeti we have embarked on this path by putting sustainability at the centre of our corporate philosophy and choosing carpets that use environmentally friendly materials. But what exactly does sustainable carpet production mean and why is it so relevant for us (as it should be for everyone)? Let's find out by delving into the subject.

A premise: what is eco-sustainability for?

Eco-sustainability is a fundamental principle that serves to preserve the health of our planet. This means minimising the use and exploitation of natural resources, reducing the environmental impact of human activities and adopting practices that maintain the balance of ecosystems. In short, eco-sustainability is about ensuring a future compatible with our planet, allowing nature to regenerate and future generations to enjoy the same resources we enjoy today.

So why is green production necessary in the carpet world?

The green production of such a popular piece of furniture as the carpet is crucial in addressing global environmental challenges. This practice allows us to reduce the use of limited materials, minimise the waste of carpets that have reached their end-of-life and mitigate pollution. At a time when climate change is a real threat, sustainable production is offering a responsible approach and an opportunity to the entire carpet industry that can no longer be ignored.

And what does Olivo Tappeti do to be sustainable?

At Olivo Tappeti we have made the’be sustainable a cornerstone of our business. Leafing through the company catalogue, one can see that the’80% of the carpets is made from recyclable materials or realised with materials from recycling. This means that carpets are not only beautiful and functional, but also make a real contribution to the environment.

Another relevant aspect is the use of natural raw materials, such as the cotton or the fibre of coconut, which reduce dependence on synthetic plastics. We attach great importance to sustainability certifications, because they show that our products comply with the highest ecological standards.

In addition, we have taken significant steps towards reducing our environmental impact as a company, adopting packaging exclusively made of paper and polyethylene and reducing the use of non-biodegradable plastic. This dedication to sustainability goes even further: since 2011, we have been generating 60% of our own energy through proprietary solar panels. This not only decreases our carbon footprint on the land, but also demonstrates a strong commitment to renewable energy.
