Carbon Negative Rugs

At FLOR, we are utilizing materials that have sequestered carbon from the atmosphere and using it to create the first ever carbon negative area rugs.

Our Carbon Negative rug collection draws more carbon from the air than it releases into the atmosphere from the extraction of the raw materials through manufacturing, also known as cradle-to-gate. The carbon negative materials in our rug backings, in combination with ECONYL® yarn and our tufting process, result in a carbon negative carpet tile. The finished product brings together durability, beautiful design, and a negative carbon footprint that ultimately benefits both you and the planet.

Rug Backings that Give Back

We offer three backings that are designed to move towards a carbon negative future.
Econyl® Logo

FLOR partners with Aquafil, who recycles used nylon into beautiful yarns for our area rugs. Aquafil’s regenerated ECONYL® nylon is the same as brand-new nylon but doesn’t utilize new resources.

After a life-changing epiphany, the CEO of a global public company embarks on a high-stakes quest to eliminate all negative environmental impacts by 2020. To succeed, they must overcome deep skepticism, abandon the status quo, and ignite a new industrial revolution. Beyond Zero offers an inspirational roadmap for how businesses can reverse climate change.
