Hello,

I manufacture carpets and tiles, and am currently designing my packaging. For the tiles especially, I would like to find an environmentally friendly material to use. Where do I go about finding this? Where can I purchase recycled products that would both offer the insulation that the products need to be able to travel and not break, and be attractive? I am open to any suggestions, as long as the outside box can be printed on.

Thank You!

Hi Pauline,

It's tough starting down the path to green.  We did it last year.  Might I suggest that you visit certifiedwood.org or the Forest Stewardship Council website?  They have a searchable databases that might be of help to you as you design your packaging materials.  A number of paper companies are certified now, one is Mohawk.  These companies might be of great assistance to you.
