Adding value to waste to promote sustainability for society
The Carpet Maker’s carpets are known to use waste in the manufacturing process, which is consistent with the concept of sustainability. The said process is as follows: “Starting with the careful selection of environmentally-friendly raw materials, such as taking the initiative to develop raw materials from things that many may view as a burden, like plastic waste. This waste will then enter the upcycling process to have better properties with the production processes that minimize waste and pollution. Our goal is to conserve natural resources and promote social responsibility for the long-term well-being of the society.”

“The carpet is made from MONSILK fibers, deriving from the phrase Mind Our Nature, which involves upcycling PET plastic bottles into high-quality yarn. When used to make carpets, the yarn is soft and comfortable, with beautiful appearance comparable to silk. The yarn comes with properties: resistant to wear, moths, insects, mold, lightweight, quick drying and breathable.
In addition to carpet making, the Carpet Maker also expands MONSILK yarn to produce other daily products including bags, hats and scarves.
