Corn, Carpet and Making a Difference





What if we told you Vander Berg’s offers a carpet made out of corn?


Your first thoughts are probably “I don’t believe it!” and “That must be some pretty uncomfortable carpet.” 

However, you would be wrong in both instances. SmartStrand with DuPont Sorona renewably sourced polymer is not only made up of 37% renewable resources, it is also the softest carpet on the market.

SmartStrand carpet is brought to you by Mohawk and Dupont and is just one of the products Mohawk is using to help preserve the environment. This carpet has a unique field to floor process. First, corn is planted and grown around the nation. Next, it is harvested and sent to Loudon, TN where it becomes a key ingredient in DuPont Sorona renewably sourced polymer. Finally, DuPont Sorona is spun into fiber which is then used to make SmartStrand with DuPont Sorona carpet. 

Using just seven yards of this carpet in your home saves the energy and resources equivalent to one gallon of gas. The total savings reach up to 10 million gallons in one year. 

Not only will this carpet lower your carbon footprint, it also features a lifetime stain resistance warranty, durability and softness. It really is the next generation of luxury carpets.  You can now enjoy a stylish and comfortable carpet while knowing you’ve played a role in sustaining our natural resources.
