The Nordic Swan Ecolabel environmental requirements for textile floor coverings and carpets

You can certify textile floor coverings, carpets, rugs, and mats for indoor use – both loose and wall-to-wall products, with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.

Product types that are covered are carpets for indoor use intended to be placed on the floor, i.e. textile floor coverings and floor rugs/mats. Both wall to wall-products fastened to the floor by adhesives, hooks etc. and loose laid carpets are included. The upper side (which faces upward from the floor) of the product must consist of at least 80% by weight of textile fibres.

Nordic Swan Ecolabel textile floor coverings and rugs/mats have a reduced environmental and climate impact throughout their life cycle, because they meet strict requirements regarding:

• A high amount of renewable and/or recycled raw material
• The fibre and polymer materials and chemicals used
• Low emissions to indoor air
• High durability and long service life
• Contribution to circular economy through design for separation or material recycling through take-back systems or especially high amount of renewable and/or recycled raw material
