The Rise of Sustainable Wall Coverings

As eco-consciousness in design grows, so too does the demand for eco conscious decor and renewable materials. In response, manufacturers are offering a wider selection of wall coverings that are both beautiful and eco-friendly. This trend towards "green design," is becoming increasingly popular and important in home decor and business design. Let’s explore a few of the “green” materials that are appearing in wallpaper and wall mural materials today.

PVC-Free Wallpapers

Traditional vinyl wallpapers are often made with PVC, which contains chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment. Enter PVC-free wallpapers, crafted from safer, eco-friendly materials such as Olefin. These wallpapers ensure that your business or living space remains free of harmful chemicals, while contributing to a greener planet.

This vinyl-free material offers all the benefits of traditional vinyl - like durability and flexibility, without the environmental drawbacks.

Recycled Content Wallpaper Murals

A popular and eco-friendly choice for wall murals are those made with post-consumer recycled materials. Adding post-consumer content in the manufacturing process reduced both landfill waste and the need for virgin materials. Recycled wallpapers offer a sustainable solution without sacrificing quality or aesthetics.
