DOING OUR PART FOR A CLEANER, SAFER WORLD.

At ModernRugs.com, we pride ourselves on being as environmentally-friendly as we can possibly be. We consider ourselves to be ecologically-aware and are happy to be taking even more steps to ensuring a greener future.

As a manufacturer of high-quality commercial carpets for worldwide use in installations where high-standards of design, coloring and aesthetic appeal is required, we are dedicated to bringing you the very best in today's market. This dedication is not only included within our fine quality rugs and hospitality products, but also through our environmental management, resource management, training and communications within our establishment.

At ModernRugs.com, we recognize that the protection of the environment is essential if these benefits are to be sustained. We seek not only to carry out our current commitments, but strive to continuously update and improve policies as needed. Accordingly, we have committed ourselves manufacturing our rugs while meeting the following objectives:

• We ensure that the environmental impact resulting from our production processes and other operations is minimized through pollution prevention.
• We maintain an open and effective relationship with the local community, our employees, customers and regulatory authorities.
