Learn About Our Impact

1 of 3

When you specify Airlay cushion-back carpet tiles, you’re choosing comfort without compromise. Our soft backing is made from recycled PET, giving discarded plastics a new purpose and helping keep waste out of oceans and landfill.

From discarded bottles to carpet backing

We transform discarded plastic bottles into soft, durable PET cushion backing. Bottles are processed into flakes and fibres, creating a high-performance recycled material.

Recycled polyester (rPET) uses fewer resources and produces significantly lower CO₂ emissions than virgin fibres, helping divert plastic from landfill and oceans.

Each square metre of Airlay cushion-back carpet tiles contains the equivalent of 50 x 500ml PET bottles.

Safe and Sustainable

With up to 85% of our cushion back made from recycled PET and other single-use plastics, Airlay helps combat the eight million tonnes of plastic entering our oceans each year.

Our process gives discarded plastics a new lease on life delivering a safe, sustainable, and responsible flooring solution for our client.

At Airlay, we believe reusing carpet is the way forward, extending lifecycles, cutting carbon, and keeping materials in circulation.
