The Yellowstone Collection by Signature Crypton Carpets repurposes discarded plastic bottles collected from that national park for use as carpet backing. With a pile fiber made entirely from recycled-content nylon, the carpets comprise 82% recycled materials by weight and come in 12′ to 15′ widths. The collection comprises five design patterns—Caldera (colorway Lava Lake shown), Old Faithful, Paint Pots, Grant Village, and Artist Point—inspired by Yellowstone’s landmarks. Signature will donate 50 cents of every square yard sold through its Protect and Preserve (P2) program to the Yellowstone Park Foundation. signaturecryptoncarpet.com
