 Earth Weave starts by using only pure wool. We apply no dyes, pesticides, or stain protections that are commonly used by the other carpet manufacturers. The application of these chemicals would greatly affect indoor air quality through the off gassing of volatile organic compounds. The primary backing that we use is also an industry first combination of hemp and cotton. Earth Weave is the only carpet company to incorporate an all natural primary backing that is specifically designed for use in our biodegradable flooring.
Earth Weave uses the hardy hemp fiber, due to its durability, strength, and mold and mildew resistance. The wool yarns are locked into place with a natural adhesive that is derived from the rubber tree. This adhesive is completely biodegradable and nontoxic as well. For the back of the carpet we use a jute secondary. Jute was commonly used in the carpet industry before the introduction of the synthetic backings currently employed. We chose to use this type of backing to further our cause of making a completely natural and nontoxic carpet.
 The Nature's Carpet collection
consists of fine carpet pile made entirely from wool, a renewable
resource. The wool is cleaned in a dedicated cleansed scour, and none
of the chemicals employed in the mothproofing of regular wool products
are present. As a result, our clean scoured wool is totally
biodegradable and even recyclable at the end of its long life as a
floorcovering. Spinning of the wool takes place in a plant which has
been carefully allocated for handling only 100% natural source
material. The chemical latex used in regular carpet, is replaced with a
nontoxic latex made from a natural rubber base. The natural qualities
of this latex are evident in the softness and flexibility of the carpet.
