All our carpets are handmade using natural or recycled materials, emphasizing clean fibers and sustainability. We repurpose waste materials and use unbleached wool to reduce waste and promote fiber reuse. Wool is a durable material that retains its quality over time. To enhance recyclability, material blends are avoided whenever possible. For our furniture, we use FSC-certified wood, ensuring it comes from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, we use high-quality fabrics that meet the industry’s highest testing standards, maintaining exceptional quality while prioritizing sustainability.

Layered's products are designed to last over time, and we collaborate with selected partners to leverage their circular properties. Today, we are working with Mjuk in Sweden to offer a platform where our products can have a second life. Our products have a high resale value, providing customers with an additional reason to invest in them. In Stockholm, we also collaborate with professional rug cleaners to help our customers preserve the quality and lifespan of their rugs.

Eco-friendly packaging and reduced plastic usage are key priorities for us, particularly in logistics. We use only recycled plastic and are transitioning to renewable packaging where possible. Since 2020, we have replaced all plastic in sample packaging with FSC-certified recycled paper, eliminated printed information sheets, and reduced package sizes to minimize air transport. We also address the environmental impact of chemicals and dyeing by using eco-friendly dyeing processes and minimizing harmful chemicals in production.

We are commited to operate ethically and contribute to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This involves initiatives that address social welfare, environmental protection, and transparent governance, ensuring positive impacts for stakeholders and society while minimizing negative effects. By using natural materials like wool and cotton instead of polyester, we contribute to a safer work environment for our employees, who are spared exposure to synthetic materials and chemicals. Multiple of our certifications incorporate CSR, read more below.

Standardization refers to the creation and implementation of agreed-upon guidelines, criteria, or practices which our products follow to ensure consistent and measurable progress toward sustainability goals. All LAYERED rugs and furniture follow specific standardized processes to ensure certification criteria are met. These standards provide a clear framework to align processes, products, sustainable principles. Read more about our tests and certifications below.
