At Eastern Mills, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's woven into every aspect of our operations. Our wool sourcing practices exemplify this commitment, ensuring that every rug we create meets rigorous ethical and environmental standards.
We exclusively partner with farms certified under the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), which guarantees humane treatment of sheep and sustainable land management practices. This certification requires third-party auditing and complete traceability from farm to finished product.
Beyond animal welfare, our sourcing practices prioritize environmental stewardship. We work with suppliers who implement regenerative grazing practices, which can actually help sequester carbon and improve soil health. This approach transforms wool production from an environmental burden into a potential solution.
Our commitment extends to supporting local farming communities. By establishing long-term partnerships with responsible producers, we help ensure economic stability while maintaining the highest quality standards for our materials.
