It's all well and good to recycle as much as we can, but we also have to make sure that we buy products made from recycled goods whenever possible.

If you're in the market for some new carpet, one easy way is to buy carpet made from recycled soda bottles. Mohawk's everSTRAND™

carpet fiber contains 100 percent post-consumer recycled content, namely PET from recycled plastic bottles.

From the Mohawk Flooring website, "It's amazing that one in every four plastic bottles recycled in North America become luxuriously soft Mohawk carpet." That is amazing.
