Old carpets colored with eco-friendly methods in Antalya are sold for 5 thousand dollars abroad

Carpets that have become old or unusable in homes are being repurposed in Antalya, becoming the subject of a highly profitable trade. The carpets are laid out in fields where the wheat harvest has been completed, where they are washed and dried with natural herbal formulas to gain a magnificent appearance.

These products, dyed with nature's own colors and gaining a unique aesthetic, see great demand from buyers abroad. Processing carpets that would otherwise be thrown away or sold at very low prices through this method provides a significant foreign exchange inflow to the country.

The value of a single carpet can rise up to exactly 5 thousand dollars thanks to this process. This model, developing in the region, sets a remarkable example in terms of recycling waste products and supporting the rural economy.
