At Obeetee, sustainability is a way of life. It is the driving force that makes our rugs unique, and propels us to constantly thrive in our aim to preserve and revere carpet weaving. With our conscious efforts at making both our rugs and the environment last generations, we have reduced our water consumption by 90%. We have solar panels in place to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, we have significantly reduced our carbon footprint, and most importantly, we employ eco-friendly materials from the beginning of the manufacturing process to the very end. Our Effluent Treatment Process is one of the most efficient systems in place and ensures that the water used for washing undergoes biological treatment to be reused for irrigation in the fields. Artisanally handcrafted with meticulous planning, our rugs are made with premium fibres such as wool, recycled and organic cotton, and jute, which are easy on the planet and cost-efficient.
