Hug Rug launches new Outdoor Mat collection

 

Hug Rug, the original creators of the washable rug, has launched its new range of Outdoor Mats, crafted from ECONYL® yarn, washable and made from fully recycled nylon material. Tthe innovative range of eco Outdoor Mats expertly combines style and function to protect your doorstep and elevate your exterior from season to season.

Lizzie Mosley, Creative Director at Hug Rug, comments: “Sustainability, style and accessibility are all at the heart of what we do at Hug Rug. Available in some of our favourite designs, we’re proud to have crafted our new Outdoor Mats from ECONYL®, an incredible material that transforms nylon waste into new nylon fibre, saving it from landfill. Hug Rug products are designed with circularity and great design front of mind, because we believe that making sustainable choices shouldn’t come at the expense of homeware you really love.”

 

Entirely manufactured at its mills in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Hug Rug represents authentic British craftsmanship and continues to champion local manufacturing expertise that has been refined over decades. Crafted for durability, the curated range features a selection of Hug Rug’s most popular designs to bring flair and functionality to doorsteps.

Expertly designed to trap dirt and debris, the new Outdoor Mats enhance interiors by keeping your home clean from outdoor mess – even during the rainy autumn and winter months. For simple maintenance, the innovative drainage holes mean the new Outdoor Mats don’t hold moisture and can be hosed down for easy clean. 

The new outdoor range is made from ECONYL® yarn: ECONYL® regenerated Nylon is made by recovering nylon waste destined for landfill and turning it into nylon yarn for the fashion and interiors industries.

Inspired by the natural beauty of its Pennine location, the new outdoor collection exemplifies Hug Rug’s continued commitment to manufacturing as sustainably as possible. Proudly a zero-waste to landfill business, Hug Rug’s outdoor rugs made from ECONYL® are its latest innovation as it strives to minimise its environmental impact during production, protect scarce natural materials, and to create products that reduce waste.
