April 28, 2010 | Everywhere Old Rope Makes Good Ecofriendly Doormats Handcrafted in Maine It’s just a doormat. Doesn’t get lowlier. But these new Down East Doormats do a lot more than keep the dirt on the right side of the door. Back story: The floating ropes that Maine lobstermen had been using were trapping whales and other sea creatures, so they’ve been banned. Great! But without a way to recycle them, they’re destined for landfills. Enter The Maine Float-Rope Co., which turned the outdated material into cheerful, nautical home decor. Besides doing good, the mats are virtually indestructible (what’s bad for marine life is a plus for a doormat) and can withstand any weather conditions. And they’re resistant to mold, mildew, saltwater, and sun. If that’s not reason enough, they’re also reversible, one-of-a-kind, and, obviously, they float (hear that, boaters?). How’s that for a warm welcome? Available online at daytripsociety.com and mainefloatrope.com, $50-$80.
