One of the UK’s leading sofa and carpet specialists, ScS, has entered a new market with the launch of a super-soft and environmentally friendly carpet. The Sedna range, which doesn’t compromise on quality, has been made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon, a yarn made from recycled waste material such as old carpets and abandoned fishing nets collected from the bottom of the sea to provide a luxurious product to fit seamlessly into homes.
To support the product launch, ScS commissioned a survey to look at London’s recycling habits and found that while locals are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, there is still work to do, with over three-quarters (81%) of those surveyed confessing that they could make extra changes at home to be more environmentally friendly, and over half of the London public (58%) stating that being eco-friendly in the home is important to them.
Furthermore, many London locals are making small lifestyle changes to help play their part for the planet, such as recycling (54%) taking the top spot, closely followed by switching to paperless bills (37%), not leaving the TV on standby mode (35%), and eating less meat (27%).
In addition, over half (61%) of London residents cited that helping to limit pollution was why being environmentally friendly was important to them, and over 60% of locals didn’t realise that household carpets could be recycled.
Farren Murphy, Head of Flooring at ScS, said: “The research shows that London is becoming increasingly environmentally conscious and seeking out new ways to do its bit for the planet – starting from within the home with little lifestyle changes. To help our consumers to be eco-friendlier, we are very proud to launch our exclusive new carpet range, which is not only luxuriously soft but it also helps save the lives of thousands of sea creatures.”
