For architects and designers seeking a premium, eco-conscious carpet, Econa offers a luxurious feel, durability and a significantly reduced environmental footprint. Econa is a cut-pile broadloom carpet, made locally in Aotearoa New Zealand using ECONYL 100% regenerated nylon yarn — a sustainable material made from nylon waste, including recovered fishing nets, industrial waste, and discarded carpets.

ECONYL is a cradle-to-cradle product, meaning it can be recycled endlessly without loss of quality. By producing Econa in New Zealand and importing only the yarn — rather than finished carpet — Heritage Carpets reduces carbon emissions, supports local manufacturing, and ensures shorter lead times for projects.

Performance without compromise

Econa is designed for residential, multi-residential, and light commercial spaces, delivering both aesthetics and performance:

• Solution-dyed nylon for superior durability, stain resistance, and UV stability
• Tight-twist cut pile minimises tracking and shading while maintaining softness underfoot
• Two weight options: 48oz (6kg) and 64oz (8kg), catering to different performance needs
• Locally stocked in Auckland, ensuring short lead times nationally
• Eight contemporary colours, with warm and cool tones

Sustainability matters

• Reduces waste and emissions: For every 10,000 tons of ECONYL material created, 65,100 tons of CO₂ emissions are avoided, and 70,000 barrels of crude oil are saved.
• Lower carbon footprint: Importing only the yarn (rather than finished carpet) means less weight, less volume, and fewer emissions from transport.
• Renewable energy: ECONYL yarn is manufactured with 100% renewable energy, including hydroelectric and wind power.

With no minimum order quantity and a lead time of approximately seven working days nationwide, Econa makes sustainable specification simple.
