Our long-term sustainable ambition is to create the world’s most sustainable carpets. It is a big challenge with an industry-changing potential.
The building industry is responsible for 40% of the world’s CO2 emissions and floors are part of the problem. Only 1-3% of all carpets are recycled. We want to lead the change in sustainability performance and innovation within our industry.
There’s a great potential to significantly improve the environment by thinking and acting differently. At Ege Carpets we've already come a long way. It’s an ongoing process where we continuously set up new goals and initiatives to get closer in fulfilling our long-term ambition. By 2030, we aim at reaching the below stated sustainability goals.
All carpets are produced from yarn based on recycled or renewable raw materials, and in total 75% of the raw materials must come from recycled or renewable sources.
Most of our carpets are Cradle to Cradle Bronze Certified® and are designed so they’re easy to take apart and recycle after use.
Natural gas is phased out thorugh electrification of our manufacturing processes, and all production waste is reused, recycled or composted.
Our CSR initiatives ensure that our business model, production, processes, and products help create a more sustainable and safe society, protect nature and humans and avoid loss of biodiversity. Our carbon emissions are reduced by 46.2% in scope 1 and 2 and by 28% in scope 3.
All carpets are covered by a take back or recycling system.
