Sustainability for Life

Sustainability for Axmister and Hand Tufted products doesn’t stop after production; through installation, daily use, maintenance, and to the end of life, it keeps on giving back.

Installation

EcoPad underlay, crafted from 100% recycled PET water bottles, reduces the installation's carbon footprint, offers luxurious comfort underfoot, and protects carpets from early wear. 

A high-quality installation enhances carpet performance and longevity. Our teams ensure all installation waste is responsibly disposed of, preventing it from ending up in landfills.

Low Maintenance

Wool's natural crimped fiber structure and elasticity allow it to rebound after compression, preventing it from looking worn out in high-traffic areas. Additionally, it resists soil and stains and is easy to clean with regular maintenance.

End of Life Solutions

High-quality Axminster and Handtufted carpets are designed for years of reliable performance, often replaced for aesthetic updates rather than wear. With a significant lifespan remaining, these carpets frequently find a second life through resale or donation. When they can no longer serve their purpose, they are easily recycled via separation or RDF clean energy solutions, ensuring they don’t end up in landfills. Even without the ideal end-of-life process, their biodegradable nature allows them to return to the earth swiftly.

A History of Environmental Responsibility 

Royal Thai has a rich history in crafting Axminster and hand-tufted carpets, dating back to the 1960s. Environmental responsibility and community service have always been integral for the brand. When the factory relocated from the city to a rural area in 2019, these values took on even greater significance due to its presence in an active rice-growing region, making waste management and water quality crucial. At that time, the company initiated several programs to address these issues, achieving milestones such as zero waste to landfill, 100% recycled water, and zero wastewater effluent. 

Today, our sustainability efforts have advanced, integrating contemporary practices with traditional craftsmanship, making us one of the most sustainable producers of Axminster and handtufted carpets globally

At Royal Thai, sustainability is not just a principle; it is a core part of our identity and everything we do.
