Adding a splash of colour to the Upstream carpet collection

The sustainable and beautiful Upstream carpet collection from Carpets Inter has grown with the addition of EBB Wash, highlighting the benefits of this unique material.

From the sustainable design experts at Carpets Inter, the EBB Wash collection adds a flourish of new colour options for the Upstream carpet collection, specifically reflecting the waterways the carpets are saving.

The Upstream carpet range is developed using the brilliant EcoSoft design technology, where ever square metre of the carpet contains 50 recycled PET bottles, keeping them out of our precious oceans, rivers and estuaries.

Carpets Inter designed the EBB Wash collection precisely to highlight the benefits of their unique ecological design process, and how it helps in preventing plastic waste from polluting our oceans, and rejuvenating the natural habitats of our marine life. The range is inspired by the very rivers, flatlands and estuaries they’re helping save – reminding us of the benefits of the material, while also serving as a functional and stylish carpet underfoot.

 

The Carpets Inter team created the EcoSoft modular carpet collection to deliver beauty and efficiency for design projects of any size, while also providing a true sustainable design solution for the planet.

With every project that uses EBB Wash carpeting or any option from the Upstream carpet range, designers and end-users alike can rest assured that not only does their floor function and look great, it’s taking away 50 PET bottles from landfills and waterways per square metre of carpeting.

Carpets Inter’s commitment to contemporary design can be seen in the scale of available carpeting, ranging in colours and able to suit any size. In their goal of recycling over one billion plastic bottles by 2025, the company is more than a manufacturer, but a protector of our planet’s well-being. Not just a design team, Carpets Inter see their role as an environmental leader in the industry, driven to make positive environmental, social, and economic change around the world.

The EBB Wash carpet solution, as well as the whole Upstream Collection, is available to Australian designers thanks to Above Left.
