In-Depth Review
Circular Home Decor
Ruggable revolutionized the floor covering industry with their two-piece system, but the Re-Plush collection takes their mission further by utilizing post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. By diverting waste from oceans and landfills, Ruggable creates a durable yarn that mimics the softness of traditional wool without the environmental cost of industrial sheep farming. The 2-piece system promotes longevity, as the cover can be washed rather than the entire rug being thrown away when dirty.
Labor and Safety
Ruggable manufactures many of its products in the USA, providing fair wages and safe working conditions. The Re-Plush series features a high-pile texture that is surprisingly low-shed, making it a better choice for indoor air quality compared to low-quality synthetic rugs that off-gas VOCs. Furthermore, the PETA-Approved Vegan certification guarantees that no animal byproducts, such as wool or silk, are used in the construction.
