Viscose is a beautifully shimmering material made from eucalyptus trees’ cellulose. The viscose production process is both chemical and energy-intensive. For this reason, we aim to replace our viscose products with a more environmentally friendly option, such as Tencel, in the coming years.

Jute is a long and soft vegetable fibre that grows to its full length in only 120 days. Jute is grown without pesticides or fertilizers. The water footprint of jute is also minimal as jute is grown in monsoon climate areas and is thus rain-fed. For these reasons, jute is one of the most ecological natural materials available. Finarte’s jute originates from India, where our jute rugs are handwoven by the local artisans. All our jute rugs are climate-friendly – they emit only 0,7 kg CO2/m2.

We only use recycled polyester in our products, never virgin. Some of the polyester we use is obtained when used plastic bottles are crushed into small pellets from which the yarn is spun. Part comes from the cutting surplus in textile manufacturing. The material is both sturdy and light at the same time, and above all 100 % recycled. Carpets made of recycled polyester have excellent use properties, especially for wet areas. They are also well suited for outdoor use.
