Eco-friendly alternatives to standard carpeting do exist; recycled-content carpet is beginning to make an appearance. This green carpet option uses various materials, including plastic soda bottles, nylon, cotton, wool, or even used carpet. Some recycled-content carpet can even be reclaimed at the end of its lifecycle by the manufacturer. They recycle the carpeting again, transforming a non-renewable substance into a renewed material.

Carpet pad made from recycled nylon carpets is also available.
