Everyone is getting into the Green Movement! From electric cars to recycled clothing, everyone is looking for better ways to produce their products and practice sustainability for a better, greener earth. The flooring industry is no exception. Check out some of these green hardwoods, tiles, and carpet in Paradise, AZ. Wood Flooring Hardwood flooring is an all-time favorite because it adds rich, warm colors to your home or office. While they are beautiful, many consumers are concerned about the current levels of deforestation around the world. The Forest Stewardship Council was established in 1993 to help consumers shop for sustainable wood products for use in their home. The FSC encourages lumber companies to meet certain eco-friendly standards and to replant saplings in the areas they harvest. Check their database for flooring manufacturers and their sustainability practices. Glass Tile Glass is one of the easiest materials to break down and recycle. Every year, Americans recycle over 3 million tons of glass into various products including tile flooring. Tile is durable, easy to maintain, and very versatile. Glass tile is not only a common flooring material but is also used as kitchen backsplashes and on bathroom walls. Glass can be colored to match your favorite styles or frosted for a matte finish. When you decide to change it out for something new, the glass tiles in your home are 100% recyclable which means someone else will be able to enjoy this amazing material in their home. Sustainable Carpeting Like glass, plastic is another versatile material found in many new recyclable carpets. When you are looking for new carpets and rugs, look for carpets made of PET, or polyethylene terephthalate. It is a polymer resin made from recycled plastic bottles that otherwise would have spent hundreds of years in a landfill.
