_Research confirms synthetic carpets are a leading source of indoor microplastic
exposure. As handcrafted home décor demand rises, Rug Source continues expanding
its 30,000-piece collection of authentic Persian, Oriental, Turkish, and Moroccan
rugs – with wholesale pricing and savings of up to 80% off retail._

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, September 22, 2026 — Most synthetic rugs
and carpets are made from polyester, nylon, or polypropylene. These materials, at
their core, are forms of plastic. Every step, vacuum pass, and movement sheds microscopic
fibers into the air. These fibers do not dissolve. They accumulate in dust, suspend
in indoor air, and settle on surfaces. For families with young children who spend
a lot of time on the floor, exposure is direct. According to a new study reported
by Yahoo, humans can inhale more than [70,000 microplastic particles](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/study-reveals-shocking-amount-plastic-180007707.html)
each day indoors.

The scientific evidence on this issue is growing. A February 2026 peer-reviewed 
study published in Water, Air & Soil Pollution by Springer Nature confirmed that
indoor microplastic sources, such as synthetic carpets and textiles, account for
approximately [70% of indoor air microplastic pollution](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11270-026-09170-4).
For homeowners who want to reduce the synthetic microplastic load in their living
environment, the floor covering is one of the most practical places to start. A 
handwoven natural fiber rug made from mountain wool is safer for your home.

To serve the growing number of homeowners making material-conscious purchasing decisions,
[Rug Source](https://rugsource.com/) is expanding its curated collection of over
30,000 authentic Persian, Oriental, Turkish, Moroccan, and contemporary rugs. The
Charlotte, North Carolina-based retailer, founded in 2010 by Mina Daryoushfar, operates
as one of the leading online destinations for quality handcrafted rugs in the United
States, sourcing its inventory directly from top producing regions including Iran,
India, Turkey, and Afghanistan.

The direct-import model at the heart of Rug Source’s operation cuts out the intermediary
layers that inflate retail pricing. By working directly with weavers, dealers, and
regional markets, Rug Source delivers savings of up to 80% below comparable retail
pricing. This margin reflects the actual cost of bringing a rug directly from its
country of origin to the U.S. consumer, without the markup that accumulates at each
stage of a traditional supply chain. Clients get access to free U.S. shipping, and
a 30-day return policy applies to all orders.

The expanded collection covers the full range of styles, origins, and price points
that U.S. buyers look for. Hand-knotted wool rugs from Iran and India form the core
inventory. They’re pieces made using the same techniques passed down through generations
of weavers in producing communities in Tabriz, Kashan, and Jaipur. Alongside those,
Rug Source carries flatweave cotton kilims, tribal wool pieces from Afghanistan 
and Morocco, and silk and silk-blend rugs for formal interiors. Each piece is inspected
at origin for fiber composition, dye integrity, and construction quality before 
purchase.

About the company: Rug Source is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based online rug retailer
founded in 2010 by Mina Daryoushfar, specializing in authentic Persian, Oriental,
Turkish, Moroccan, and contemporary rugs sourced directly from producing regions
worldwide. With over 30,000 rugs in inventory and savings of up to 80% off retail,
