Earth Friendly Mats: Why should I purchase an Earth Friendly Mat?


You can help to reduce environmental pollution and landfill waste by going green with Earth Friendly Mats made from recycled materials.

When you purchase PET (polyethylene terephthalate) fiber mats, all rubber mats or rubber backed mats you help to reduce the environmental impact on our landfills. Currently, 1.5 million tons of plastic water bottles and 40 million worn tires end up in landfills across the country every year.

Earth friendly mats manufactured from recycled tires and reclaimed plastic drinking bottles produce heavy-duty, high quality and extremely stain resistant floor mats.

Recycled rubber made from SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) post-consumer recycled tires are manufactured into rubber backings for fiber mats or into rubber floor mats. Worn and discarded tires are processed into crumb rubber by mechanical shredding. Sheets of rubber are produced from the crumb rubber to be used as the backing of fiber mats or for all rubber door mats.

By purchasing earth friendly mats made from recycled materials you are doing your part to help reduce unwanted landfill waste. Recycling rather than using raw materials uses less water, energy and reduces air pollution. When you buy earth-friendly matting, natural resources are saved and recycling jobs are created as well.

The Andersen Company offers an entire line of Earth-Friendly mats produced from recycled materials. To view these earth friendly mat products, click here.
