Wool carpet

Use of wool instead of synthetic fibers reduces toxic pollutants and synthetic waste disposal. Wool is recyclable, where color is required, vegetable dyes are used, but typically the color is just the "stuff of the sheep". Wool is washed, spun and made into fiber without chemicals which could potentially cause environmental destruction. If properly maintained, carpet should last for 5-10 years, excluding stair installations. Wools can be shredded after its useful life and incorporated into soil as compost. It does not get recycled the way a synthetic product does
