“We are taking on new ecological and healthy living challenges – our ambitious vision is to reconcile social, economic, and ecological concerns. That is why we consistently focus on sustainability and Made in Germany quality. Ecology has been firmly anchored in OBJECT CARPET’s corporate DNA for over 40 years. We live and breathe environmental awareness, which is reflected in our sustainable carpet, and take action with regard to materials, production, and disposal. Our aim is to produce high-quality, healthy, and sustainable carpeting, tiles, and rugs without leaving an ecological footprint.

All OBJECT CARPET sustainable eco-friendly flooring coverings ensure a healthy indoor climate. Our goal in developing new products is to create sustainable, healthy floor coverings. Today, we can proudly say that OBJECT CARPET produces carpets that are not only completely free of PVC and bitumen but also avoid all components that pose a health risk. Thus, carpets provide a tangible reason to breathe a sigh of relief: they measurably improve indoor air quality, bind fine dust and – in contrast to hard floors such as stone, laminate and parquet – demonstrably reduce the amount of fine dust in the air by more than 50%.” – OBJECT CARPET

The cork oak forests are well-adapted to the semi-arid regions of southern Europe, preventing desertification and providing the perfect habitat for many animal and plant species, including some rare and endangered species. Preserving the cork oak forest areas, and the cork’s economic viability, is essential to maintain biodiversity, avoiding desertification, and promoting regional social stability. According to WWF, around one hundred thousand people in southern Europe and north Africa, directly and indirectly, depend on cork oak forests.

Cork production is assured with new plantations every year. Trees are never cut down or removed without strong government intervention, which prohibits this activity. Portugal, which produces more than 50% of the world’s cork, has been particularly careful with this resource.

The role of cork in preventing global warming is significant. The cork bark of the tree regenerates itself after harvesting and it is known that a harvested cork tree absorbs 3 to 5 times more carbon. A recent study indicated that Portuguese cork forests can absorb 4,8 million tons of carbon each year and it is estimated that Mediterranean cork forests can absorb over 14 million tons of carbon per year.

The cork industry itself is truly eco-efficient. All cork is used, not one gram of cork is wasted. Cork by-products are used in different products (eco-friendly flooring, decorative items, automobile industry…), and recycling (post-industrial and post-consumer) is a common practice. Even cork dust is used to generate energy.
