What are the best eco-friendly carpets for my home? Is wool better, and is woven better than tufted carpet?

Wool Carpets & Natural Fibres · Historic BCC Q&A archive

Wool is often promoted for its natural, renewable fibre and good inherent durability and insulation, making it a strong eco-friendly option for many homes. Woven construction (Axminster, Wilton and similar techniques) can deliver long life and a refined appearance, while tufted carpets may be produced sustainably depending on fibre choice, backing and manufacturing practices. Trade-offs include upfront cost, stain resistance, maintenance needs and end‑of‑life recyclability. Shoppers should look for independent environmental information on any product and balance durability, indoor air considerations and care requirements. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths and product origins should be confirmed with the Taren Point showroom or website (Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point; 02 9526 6421).
