Our stunning carpets from Danish Egetæpper are crafted from fishing nets collected from the ocean. How amazing is that?
The discarded fishing nets are cleaned, cut into smaller pieces, and undergo a refining process that breaks them down into their original chemical formula as nylon chips. These chips are then used as raw materials to produce new Nylon 6 products, including carpet yarn. These regenerated and recyclable yarns offer an eco-friendly solution that contributes to protecting our future, all without compromising on design or quality.
DID YOU KNOW
… that today more than half of the carpets at Ege Carpets are produced by regenerated and renewable material, which is made of industrial waste like used fishing nets?
Every year, 11,000 tons of old fishing nets and gear are lost or discarded on European seas. This waste reportedly accounts for 27% of the trash found on beaches (EU Commission).
