Reused
Carpets that are used only for a few hours can be reused multiple times. They are often being brought back to our warehouse to clean and store, ready for the next project. It helps us to save cost and reduce carbon footprint.
Our Mega Tile (1m x 1m) project with Singapore Expo. We provide the carpet and the labour to install and de-install all these tiles.
Repurposed
The remnants are unused and are in pristine condition. However, as the length is too short to be reused and is unable to mix with another batch of carpet that is of the same colour. They are often disposed.
In our company, we have started to go green by cutting our carbon footprint in many ways. One of it is to repurpose these remnants, which extend the life of the material.
We have repurposed them into: Bags for our products, Decorations for interior and festivity, Door Mats
We have customised the classic black window pane and the 喜喜 for the wedding couple.
Die-cut Festive Wall Decoration
The remnants are in pristine condition and deemed to have been disposed.
By turning them into decorations, we divert remnant carpets from Singapore’s limited landfill.
The lunar new year festive decoration on the wall comes in standard design and dimension. We can customize it for you. Maximum size is 1.95 Diameter.
Repurposed Safe Distancing Tiles
These repurposed carpet tiles are easily replaceable and can be customised to different shapes.
Be it 100cm x 100cm tiles or 50cm x 50cm tiles, your office flooring will still retain its aesthetic.
We have repurposed obsolete carpet tile samples into safe distancing pictogram. We can customised your carpet tiles or other soft flooring for you.
Recycle
We are recycling our carpet in Singapore and is upcycling them into useful items.
