With more than 5 Trillion pieces of plastic floating in our Oceans, each year an estimated 1,250,000 tons continues to enter via polluted river systems.
To date, Carpets Inter have recycled over 787 million discarded PET bottles into our unique EcoSoft cushion back modular carpet tile, reducing the impact of plastic pollution on our Planet.
Gone in a second, in 450 years.
Carpets Inter creates modular carpet that sustainability for our planet. By recycling ourselves as more than just a manufacturer, position in our industry as a good global economic impact around the world wherever
that delivers beauty and efficiency for our customers while providing recycling over one billion plastic bottles in creating our products, we see manufacturer, but a protector of our planet’s well-being. We take a leadership global citizen, dedicated to making a positive environmental, social, and wherever our carpet is put to use.

BIO SEQUESTRATION
A KEY SOLUTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE
The best way to combat the impact of CO ² on Earth is to support the Planets natural process to draw-down harmful greenhouse gasses. This is achieved via photosynthesis that will sequester Carbon back into the ground via agricultural crops and micro-organisms to regenerate healthy soil. We achieve zero waste to landfill and are completely self-sustainable in water supply & treatment. We repurpose and donate 100% of waste water treatment sediment to Organic fertilizer.
Industrial Farming’s use of harmful pesticides causes desertification, which can lead to: -
• Political conflict
• Catastrophic flooding from rain-fall run-off
• Mass migration and poverty.
By 2050, it’s estimated 1 billion people will become ecological refugees as a result of Agricultural land desertification.
Since 2014, we have contributed to produce 15.5 Mil. Kg of Organic fertilizer to farming 5,250 acres of Thailand’s Cropland each year.
• 1% more Organic material per acre in our soil = 10 Tons more Carbon draw down per year.
• Soil based microorganisms naturally sequester carbon into the soil
• Healthier soil means healthier plants, healthier plants mean healthier food, healthier food means healthier humans.
• Carbon in our soil acts as a natural water-filter: it captures unwanted heavy metals and toxins from harming our drinking water.
• Organic farming naturally sequesters CO² from the atmosphere, reducing global warming and desertification.

A KEY SOLUTION TO ACHIEVE ZERO LANDFILL
Since 2014 as part of Carpets Inters cradle to grave mission, we have achieved Zero Waste going into landfill within Thailand. This is achieved by recycling all manufacturing ‘off-cut’ waste, uplifting our client’s existing ‘end of life’ floorcovering regardless of origin, and ensuring to collect and ‘Take-Back’ all installation ‘off-cut’ after installing new product.
All refuse is then donated to be recycled as alternative refuse derived fuel (RDF) by leading Thai Cement manufacturers.
Domestic Manufacturing & Installation Offcut and 'End of Life' uplifted Floorcovering
All customers, contractors and recyclers are encouraged to dispose of used carpet waste in an environmental friendly way, such that landfill is avoided or minimized.
RECYCLE WASTE Waste Preprocessing
Final Treatment by Co-processing in cement kiln
All waste RDF to cement kiln has the physical and chemical properties analyzed to ensure no adverse effect on health, safety and the environment.
The high production capacity of cement kilns are capable of utilising large volumes of non-harmful industrial refuse derived Bio-Fuel.
Cement Powder Contains Bio-Fuel Ash
Sustainable Construction Protecting Thailand Environment
The key success factor of the Zero Emission is to establish a process where the waste generated by one industry is recycled by other industries.
Clean energy source reduces the Carbon footprint. We support Cement for Green Buildings and Sustainable infrastructure projects across Thailand.

WASTE
A KEY SOLUTION TO CLEAN ENERGY
Over 90% of Energy consumed to manufacture EcoSoft® is derived from positive clean Energy sources!
Global Energy demand for Electric Power is projected to rise considerably in the future. Diminishing fossil fuels predominantly used for producing power continue to pollute the environment with harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Purchasing carbon credits to offset this pollution is not only reactive but also expensive, therefore Power Plants are being governed to seek alternative fuel sources, such as bio-fuel or refuse derived fuel (RDF) from municipal solid waste.
Since 2014 as part of Carpets Inters cradle to grave mission, we have donated all manufacturing ‘off-cut’ waste to be used as RDF by local Thailand Power Plants to generate positive clean energy.
