Made from Sustainable and Renewable Materials Since its inception in 2003, Anji Mountain has established itself as the finest source of area rugs and office chairmats made from both natural fibers, including jute, bamboo, seagrass, sisal and cork, and recycled materials. A family business, Anji Mountain was founded on the principle that only sustainable uses of the earth's natural resources can be tolerated. The astonishing renewability and versatility of natural fibers and recycled materials creates lots of new ecologically positive possibilities at a time when they are desperately needed. It's Anji Mountain's mission to bring these wonderful resources to as wide an audience as possible. The Benefits of Bamboo Finished with a premium, eco-preferable UV-cured coating for ultimate protection, this chairmat is crafted from 100-percent Moso bamboo that is sustainably harvested in its native habitat in the Anji Mountains of China. Bamboo fibers are far stronger than wood fibers and much less likely to warp from changing atmospheric conditions. Healthy Home Synthetic area rugs and carpets commonly off-gas toxic, harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into the air. These VOCs can be emitted from both the synthetic fibers that make up the rug pile and the synthetic glues used in the backing. VOCs can cause a multitude of unpleasant symptoms including eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, nausea and dizziness. Whether one suffers from allergies, has a sensitive respiratory system or not, choosing a natural fiber area rug, like bamboo, which does not off-gas is a positive choice that helps create a healthier environment in your home. Additional Features A felt backing with non-slip gripper dots keeps the mat in place while the chairmat's rounded edges provide for easy access on and off the mat.
