Re-Kindled Interest in Natural Fiber Rugs

Environment friendly products are gaining in popularity because they are sustainable and eco-friendly as well as naturally beautiful with unique properties. Sisal and jute, in particular, have been extensively used in making rugs and mats, but now Bamboo has taken it's traditional place as an important rug material as well. Since its inception in 2003, anji mountain has established itself as the finest source of natural fiber area rugs—including jute, bamboo, seagrass. Natural fibers have been used by mankind for millennia to create a myriad of useful products. It makes perfect sense that in the pre-industrial world this would be so. Natural fibers were used because they were available and plentiful. But, in our sophisticated, post-industrial society there is a rekindled interest in products made from natural fibers and their natural beauty and versatility. Natural fibers are naturally and easily decomposed with the help of universal fungi and bacteria. Natural fibers can also be composted to improve soil structure or incinerated with no harmful emissions and release of no more carbon dioxide than the fibers absorbed during their lifetimes. Furthermore, one ton of jute fiber production absorbs as much as 2.4 tons of carbon dioxide.

Synthetic area rugs and carpets commonly off-gas toxic, harmful voc’s (volatile organic compounds) into the air. these voc’s can be emitted from both the synthetic fibers that make up the rug pile and the synthetic glues used in the backing. Whether one suffers from allergies, has a sensitive respiratory system or not choosing a natural fiber area rug which does not off-gas is a positive choice that helps create a healthier environment in your home.
