Sludge to Soil
A Sustainable cycle is reimagined
Eco friendly dyeing and 100% Recycled water
Carpets Inter has been operating a 100% water recycling system for its manufacturing water waste, since 2014. This initiative provides a valuable eco-friendly dyeing system where zero effluent is released into the environment and a safe and efficient water source for other manufacturing processes including our kitchens toilets and gardens.
A sustainable solution for waste “Sludge”
Through the recycling process, pure water is separated from contaminated water using a series of steps. During these processes, the water contamination is converted into solid waste known as "sludge." Normally, this waste sludge would be disposed of in a landfill. However, our manufacturing plant, situated in a rural farming area, maintains a close relationship with nature and strives to utilize waste responsibly to keep it out of landfills. By collaborating with a local fertilizer company, we discovered an eco-friendly solution for our waste sludge, which not only kept it out of landfills but also repurposed it, giving it a new life.
Organic Fertilizer driving healthy
crops, healthy soil and carbon capture
A partnership with a dynamic forward looking local fertilizer company allowed the transformation of the solid waste into an essential base material for producing high-grade organic fertilizer, benefiting the cultivation of crops like pineapple, cassava, sweetcorn, and rubber trees. The fertilizer can aid crop yield for the local growers by between 10% to 50%.
Humus – Nature’s “Black Gold”
Organic fertilizers do a lot more than just provide nutrients for growing crops; they also contribute to the creation of humus which is the single most important determinant of success in high-production agriculture and a powerhouse stimulator for the soil to assist sequestering CO2 Humus is a dark, organic material that forms when plant and animal matter decay. It's like nature's own fertilizer that enriches the soil. In agriculture, humus plays a crucial role by improving soil structure, retaining moisture, and providing essential nutrients for plant growth. Farmers love humus because it helps plants grow strong and healthy.
Organic fertilizers, like compost and manure, are rich in organic matter that breaks down into humus over time. When farmers use organic fertilizers, they add more organic material to the soil, promoting the formation of humus.
Waste equals Food
As in nature, the concept of "waste equals food" embodies the idea that in a natural ecosystem, there is no true waste. Instead, every byproduct or waste material generated by one organism becomes a valuable resource or nutrient for another organism in the ecosystem. This efficient cycle continuously recycles and reuses resources, promoting sustainability, and minimizing waste accumulation. Essentially, nature operates in a closed-loop system where what may be considered waste for one organism serves as nourishment or raw material for another, showcasing the intricate balance and interconnectedness of natural systems.

Organic farming methods, such as incorporating compost, cover cropping, and reduced tillage, help increase organic matter in the soil. This organic matter acts like a sponge, capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and storing it in the soil as stable carbon compounds. Studies indicate that organic farming systems can sequester approximately 2,100 kg of carbon per hectare annually, highlighting the significant role organic practices play in mitigating climate change
Since 2014, we have contributed to produce 3.15 million kg of organic fertilizer to farming 5,350 acres of Thailand’s Cropland each year.

Healthy soil and Carbon Capture
The sludge donated has contributed to the fertilization of over 5,350 acres of Thailand’s agricultural cropland
No credits for Carbon Capture!
The waste-to-fertilizer process contributes to the production of healthy soil and carbon capture through the production of Humus. However, there is no carbon credit or offset award for this process to the company.
Improving soil can offset emissions
However, there is no carbon credit or offset award for this process to the company. If we were to rebuild organic matter by just 1% in US agricultural soils –“4.5++ billion tonnes” of the CO2 gas would be sequestered from the atmosphere into agricultural farmland representing over 50% offset of their emissions.
Carbon Water Filter
Carbon in our soil acts like your carbon water-filter. It captures heavy metals and toxins that are unwanted in the water supply, eliminates the need in agriculture for toxic chemical fertilizers (pesticides) and as a result prevents the contamination of our water table and fresh water supply.
Enhancing Soil Health
Cultivating a thriving microbial ecosystem is key for the decomposition of organic matter, a process that enriches the soil while also improving its texture and facilitating optimal air flow. The carbon present in soil serves as an effective natural filter, trapping heavy metals and toxins to prevent them from contaminating our drinking water.
Increasing Crop Yields
Healthy soil promotes better root development, leading to increased nutrient absorption and water retention, resulting in up to 25 higher crop yields.
Minimizing Harmful Pesticide Usage
Soils rich in nutrients and plants that are properly fertilized tend to deter pests. These pests are usually attracted to plants that are stressed or lacking in nutrients, making them more vulnerable to infestations. By ensuring the fertility of the soil and the health of the plants, farmers can effectively reduce the need for pesticides, maintaining pest control through natural health and balance.
Waste to Wow
Transforming an Eco Headache into Sustainable Magic
Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, with single-use PET bottles emerging as a symbol of the pervasive issue. Every year, millions of bottles are discarded worldwide, finding their way into landfills, rivers, and oceans, where they persist for centuries, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and wildlife. But amidst the alarming tide of plastic waste; there shines a beacon of hope: the innovative use of recycled PET bottles in the production of interior surfaces.
Reshaping Environmental Challenges into Sustainable Solutions
Globally, over 500,000 M PET bottles are produced annually, equivalent to roughly 1 million bottles per minute.That's enough to stretch around the Earth more than 20 times each day!
Shockingly, only a fraction of these bottles is recycled, with estimates suggesting that less than 10% are effectively collected and repurposed.
The environmental impact is staggering: PET bottles can take up to 450 years to decompose, releasing harmful chemicals into the soil and water during their slow decay.
Additionally, countless marine animals and birds suffer each year from ingesting or becoming entangled in plastic waste; it's estimated that over 100,000 marine mammals are dying annually from plastic pollution.
Amid this crisis, a growing movement is reshaping the narrative around plastic waste. Leveraging innovation and sustainability, forward-thinking companies are transforming discarded PET bottles into stylish, functional products, offering a glimmer of hope in the battle against plastic pollution.
EcoSoft, a pioneering product by Carpets Inter since its 2005 launch, stands out for its innovation. Designed as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional PVC backings, EcoSoft is crafted from 85% recycled PET bottles, highlighting its commitment to sustainability. It has earned acclaim not only for its environmental benefits but also for its superior underfoot comfort and enhanced acoustic properties. Impressively, nearly 1 billion PET bottles have been recycled for use in EcoSoft's production process.

At Carpets Inter, we take pride in crafting high-quality carpets that are not only visually stunning but also exceptionally durable, standing the test of time However, when it's time to revamp your space with a new product and design, it's also crucial to consider the environmental impact. Ensure your old product doesn't end up in a landfill by taking advantage of the Carpets Inter Carpet Take Back Program.
A Second Life For Your Old Carpet
Our zero waste-to-landfill commitment in manufacturing has been in action since 2005, and we're proud to extend that commitment to the carpets that currently grace your floors. When it's time for an upgrade, we will ensure your old carpet doesn't just end up as waste; it transitions into a useful second-life product or is disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way possible — without adding to a landfill.
Recovering and recycling the waste we generate conserves our precious natural resources, reduces environmental impact, and supports the development of a more circular economy.
We strive to provide closed-loop recycling solutions whereby waste materials are separated and recovered as secondary
In Thailand, we're currently working in partnership with local facilities to convert old Carpet tile, Broadloom, and Axminster into refuse-derived fuel (RDF) pellets. These pellets are then utilized by industries such as cement manufacturing or power generation plants to produce clean energy. An impressive record speaks for itself, with over 1.3 million Kg of used carpet taken back and processed between 2020 and 2023 resources or used in the manufacture of new products. Where this is not possible, they are used as fuel in the production of clean energy.

Making every drop count
Carpets Inter identified the issue 25 years ago and decided to implement a more sustainable manufacturing process. This choice went beyond mere business strategy; it symbolized a dedication to the local environment, especially noteworthy given the factory's setting in a rice-growing region. The emphasis on maintaining high water quality reflects not only corporate principles but also a deep-seated commitment to serving the community.
Our factory is located in an area of rural rice fields.

These innovative steps not only reduced water usage by 70% but also propelled the company to a significant accomplishment. By 2015, Carpets Inter achieved a major milestone with complete process water recycling, and Zero effluent output underscoring their dedication to environmental stewardship and resource efficiency

Carpets Inter saw an opportunity to go beyond water recycling. The industrial water recycling process mirrors consumer wastewater treatment, involving aeration, sedimentation, and filtration to eliminate solid waste. Typically, the outcome is solid waste sludge destined for landfills. However, Carpets Inter viewed this not as an issue, but as a chance for innovation
Working with a local fertilizer manufacturer, Carpets Inter began discussions on how to use the biological sludge from the wastewater processing in fertilizer production Together, the two partners modified the water processing system, which now takes the water through chemical, physical, and biological processes to output a waste sludge that meets stringent Department of Works standards for agricultural use
Sowing th e Seeds
of Su stainabili ty
The result is a beautiful circle of life - the sludge is delivered to the fertilizer company, blended with growing nutrients like Dolomite, Marl, Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potassium, and then converted into fertilizer pellets These pellets support the growth of local crops such as Pineapple, Cassava, Sweetcorn, and Rubber Trees
Since the initiative began in 2015, Carpets Inter has donated nearly 2000 tons of sludge, which has been turned into more than 400,000 bags of fertilizer. This achievement is a testament to how business can coexist harmoniously with the environment, creating an ecosystem where waste is not wasted, but put into service for new life.

A storage basin designed to collect wastewater and stabilize flow rates before further treatment. The pond helps manage fluctuations in inflow, allowing for more consistent treatment processes downstream.
Aeration is the process of adding air into wastewater to allow aerobic bio-degradation of the pollutant components. It is an integral part of most biological wastewater treatment systems.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane-based filtration process that separates contaminants from water by applying pressure to push it through a semipermeable membrane. This method is highly effective at removing a wide range of contaminants, including salts, microorganisms, and organic compounds making it ready for re-use.
Waste water recycled and recycles back to aquifer.
A polishing pond is a shallow lagoon that provides additional treatment for wastewater after primary and secondary processes. It allows for natural processes such as further sedimentation, microbial activity, and nutrient uptake by plants, improving water quality before discharge.
Sludge dewatering is the process of removing excess water from sludge generated during wastewater treatment. It is achieved by pressing the water out of the solids reducing the volume and weight of the sludge and making it easier to handle and transport to be made into fertilizer.
Sedimentation is a physical process where particles suspended in wastewater settle out of the liquid. This is accomplished in a sedimentation basin where gravity causes solids to settle at the bottom, allowing clearer water to be drawn off from the top.
The addition of microorganisms metabolizes organic matter in the wastewater breaking down the organic solids, leading to the formation of flocs (clumps or clusters of tiny particles, including microorganisms, organic matter, and other solids, that stick together in water) that can be easily separated from the water through sedimentation.
