Every wonder what happens to all those recycled pop and water bottles?
Americans recycle millions of plastic soft drink and water bottles every day. Environmentally-friendly companies are finding ways to recycle these disposable bottles to keep them out of landfills while engineering superior products for customer use.
The Mohawk Flooring Company has made a commitment to reduce, recycle, reuse, and renew. Mohawk makes over 200 products with recycled content.
Corn sugar is also a renewable resource that replaces ingredients normally derived from petroleum. Products made from corn sugar require less energy and emit less Greenhouse gas. The new SmartStrand carpet uses DuPont renewable resource technology to give an unbeatable combination of superior stain resistance, plush softness and better durability. Carpet fibers have permanently engineered-in stain protection that can’t wear off.
SmartStrand carpets feature lifetime stain resistance–even for pet urine, bleach, mustard and hot coffee. The color assortment is outstanding, and it resists fading.
See SmartStrand carpets in the showroom now. Karmis Carpets offers a huge assortment of flooring materials at 682A Roosevelt Rd., Pickwick Place Plaza, near Trader Joe’s, Glen Ellyn. (630) 790-4332
