The illustration shows our manufacturing technique and exactly what makes Bio-Floor the only truly non-
toxic, all natural carpet made in North America. The Bio-Floor line is used extensively by those suffering
from chemical sensitivity as well as those that are concerned about the environment. We have gone to
great lengths to design a product that meets the demands of these clients yet sacrifices nothing in the
way of styling, comfort and durability.
Earth Weave starts by using only pure wool. They 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 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 its biodegradable flooring.
They chose to use 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 they use a jute
secondary. Jute was commonly used in the carpet industry before the introduction of the synthetic
backings currently employed. They chose to use this type of backing to further their cause of making a
completely natural and nontoxic carpet.
As you can see, Earth Weave has developed a very unique product that maintains all the criteria of those
looking for the purest, least toxic floor covering available. Bio-Floor can be used without reservation to
provide the utmost in comfort and durability while maintaining indoor air quality and your health.
