It would be worth considering if it wasn’t so expensive. Why is it so expensive?

This isn’t eco-friendly, nor is it sustainable. This “rug” will ultimately end up at a dump b/c after being crafted into it’s current form it is not capable of being recreated (or recycled) into anything else. It’s owner will tire of it and it’s style will go out of date. It’s just a on a pi tstop to a landfill via your house. It’s not recyclable, it’s downcycled and made from toxic materials. Rubber and all the other chemicals that go into tire manufacturing will slowly leak toxic gas into it’s environment.
Please read Cradle to Cradle, it will educate you on the real meaning of “eco-friendly.”

Xrys,
We feature a lot of products made out of recycled tires on greatgreengoods. As far as I know, this world has got way too many tires to deal with and people are still going to buy crap. So let them buy something that is on its way to the landfill rather than brand new crap that will end up at the landfill as well.
And, yes, I have read Cradle to Cradle.
