Our story

Woven from what was once waste

Every Re-Tread rug starts as a pile of used plastic bottles. The PET is cleaned, shredded and melted into a tough, weatherproof yarn, then woven into a flatweave rug that is reversible — a pattern on one side, a different one on the other, so you can flip it to change the look. It sheds rain, resists sun and mildew, and rinses clean with a hose. Indoors or out, on a deck or a kitchen, it is a rug with a second life built in.

How it's made

Used PET bottles are cleaned, shredded, melted and spun into yarn. The yarn is woven on a loom into a dense flatweave, finished on both sides with different patterns, and trimmed. The result is a waterproof, UV-resistant rug that is designed to live outdoors.

How to use it

Lay it flat on a clean, dry surface, indoors or out. Because it is reversible, flip it to show the other side whenever you want a change. Hose it down or wipe it clean when it gets dusty, and let it dry in the open air.

Good to know

Can I use them indoors too?

Yes. They work as well inside as out — in a kitchen, a hallway, a sunroom or a play space. Being waterproof, they are a practical choice for busy rooms.

Are they a health or medical product?

No. They are rugs made from recycled plastic bottles. The recycled claim is about the material, not about any effect on your health.

How do I clean them?

Hose them down or wipe them with soapy water and a soft brush, then let them dry in the open air. They resist stains and do not absorb much, so they stay easy to keep clean.

Are they weatherproof?

Yes. The recycled-PET yarn sheds rain, resists sun-fading and mildew, and dries quickly. They are built to live on a patio, deck or balcony, and to rinse clean with a hose.

Are they really reversible?

Yes. Each rug is finished on both sides with a different pattern, so you can flip it to change the look. Flip it over whenever you want a fresh surface or a new style.

What are they made from?

The rugs are woven from yarn spun out of recycled PET plastic bottles. The bottles are cleaned, shredded, melted and spun into a durable, weatherproof yarn, then woven into a flatweave rug.
