Today, we have the opportunity to transform the carpet industry into a key player in the ecological transition. At Venture Carpets, we believe that style, comfort, and sustainability can harmoniously coexist in every design project.
How can we then integrate ecological practices into interior design without compromising style and comfort?
The carpet industry faces significant environmental challenges, but solutions exist to address them.
In 2021, global fibre production reached a record high of 113 million tonnes, according to the annual report by Textile Exchange.
If the current trend continues, this production could reach 149 million tonnes by 2030.
This increase, particularly in fossil-based synthetic fibres, has a significant impact on our environment, heavily contributing to harmful CO2 emissions.
Additionally, the carpet industry produces nearly 12 billion square feet of carpet annually. While 91% ends up as waste, only 5% is actually recycled.
At Venture Carpets, we have taken on this challenge head-on.
Meeting this demand while preserving our natural resources is not only possible—it is the future of responsible design.
By adopting fibres such as ECONYL®, made from recycled waste, we are reinventing production to minimize environmental impact and maximize benefits for future generations.
Infinitely recyclable, this fibre is made from waste, including discarded carpets and fishing nets dumped into our oceans. This initiative represents a sustainable design solution, saving 70,000 barrels of crude oil and avoiding 65,100 tonnes of CO2 emissions for every 10,000 tonnes of ECONYL® nylon produced.
Integrating sustainable carpets into design and architecture projects can not only improve the environmental impact of spaces but also respond to the growing demand from clients for eco-friendly solutions. Every flooring decision affects our environment. By incorporating more sustainable practices into your projects, you can create interiors that combine aesthetics and responsibility, while also having a positive impact on the planet.
Not only do our carpet tiles made from recycled materials help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but they also contribute to the reduction of marine waste, a major issue with about 640,000 tonnes of fishing gear abandoned in our oceans every year.
Choose responsibly made products and explore recycling solutions to contribute to a more sustainable future.
