WHAT IS IT?
The DESSO brand has been vocal on the cradle-to-cradle concept. They design carpet tiles and rolls made from drinking bottles and other recycled plastics. The recycled material content is at 75%, and their carpets are fully recyclable.
HOW IS IT MADE?
DESSO produces yarn from drinking water bottles, fishing nets, and discarded yarn. They then weave this into carpet tiles and rolls.
