Rug is a kind of floor covering, and most of the times, it is also a great way to protect the floor. They are part of our interior spaces, and we need to make sure they are sustainable.

     Look for rugs that are made from all natural fibers like: wool, silk, jute coir, sisal, sea-grass, and cotton. You can also try to find rugs made with recycled material. (“rags”) These materials biodegrade easily and are good for you and the environment. Make sure it has natural dyes or no dye at all.
