PARAGON CARPET TILES
Bringing the outside in, sustainably: Paragon’s new carpet
tile collection
IN a world that is increasingly driven by the need for connection with
138 nature, Paragon Carpet Tiles has launched a new nature-inspired
collection made from recycled materials.
Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes that surround their UK
manufacturing base, the four new designs are testament to the beauty
and resilience of the natural world.
Our sustainable UK manufacturing
For Paragon, creating exceptional flooring solutions goes beyond
aesthetics. It’s about crafting products that are both visually captivating
and environmentally responsible. This commitment is woven into the
very fabric of their manufacturing process, with a strong emphasis on
sustainability. The factory and offices use green electricity from 100%
renewable sources.
All Paragon Carpet Tiles are backed with our Envirobase backing,
which is made with over 70% recycled materials. By incorporating
recycled materials wherever possible, Paragon actively reduces its
reliance on virgin resources, minimising waste and contributing to a
circular economy.
Partnering with sustainable suppliers
Paragon understands that true sustainability extends beyond the factory
floor. Our supply chain and their partners also take steps towards
contributing towards a healthier planet. For example, our partner,
Aquafil, make ECONYL yarn from regenerated nylon. It is created from
waste materials such as fabric scraps and discarded fishing nets, turned
into yarn and then we turn it into carpet tiles.
This diverts waste from landfill, but their involvement with Healthy
Seas actively engages in the crucial task of recovering discarded
fishing nets – ghost nets – that haunt our oceans. These derelict nets
pose a significant threat to marine life, ensnaring countless creatures
and damaging delicate ecosystems. By retrieving this harmful waste,
Aquafil not only transforms it into high-quality ECONYL yarn but also
actively contributes to cleaner, safer oceans, fostering a thriving marine
environment for generations to come.
Takeback service
We offer a robust take back service, and we are also developing a
network of recycling partners, who can either clean and reuse tiles, or
repurpose the material in other applications. This approach minimises
landfill waste at the end of the product lifecycle.

tiles, visit our website below.
