World Environment Day
Ending Plastic Pollution – One Carpet at a Time!
At Riviera Home, we believe that luxury and sustainability can — and should — go hand-in-hand.
This World Environment Day, the global spotlight is on ending plastic pollution, and we’re proud to be doing our part and celebrating the small, thoughtful ways we do our bit to protect the planet, every single day. Whilst the world tackles this pressing challenge, we’re focused on thoughtful design and responsible production — creating sustainable natural wool-fibre carpets that tread lightly on the planet, without compromise on beauty or performance.
Plastic-Free by Design
Most of our signature collections are made from 100% natural, renewable materials like undyed wool, jute, and cotton — free from plastics and synthetic treatments. Our Eco ranges, such as Burford, Milano, Shetland Weave, Siena and Witney – to name a few – use only undyed wool and cotton backing, eliminating the need for chemical processing or plastic-based components.
And when additional colours are required in our yarn, we turn to natural dyes such as madder and turmeric, embracing nature’s palette without harming it.
Powered by the Planet
At our factory in India, sustainability is more than a statement — it’s a system. We’re proud to operate with:
- Solar-powered energy, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and cutting emissions.
- Rainwater harvesting and wastewater treatment, so we can reuse and recycle up to 70% of water throughout our production. That’s less water waste, less impact, and a lot more mindful.
- Ethical sourced yarn and reduced packaging waste
It’s all part of our mission to reduce our environmental impact at every stage — and keep plastic out of the natural world.
No Greenwashing – Just Greener Choices
Fighting plastic pollution starts with better decisions — by manufacturers, retailers, and consumers alike. From limiting plastic in packaging to offering long-lasting, natural-fibre, wool carpets that avoid landfill, Riviera Home are committed to truly sustainable solutions to create a cleaner, healthier planet – not just claims.
