Recycled Carpet Coasters
Holland America Line Creates Coasters from Previously Recycled Carpets
Kanesa D — August 21, 2025
Holland America Line is offering guests a unique souvenir: coasters made from recycled ship carpets. Over the past two years, 3,300 pounds of carpet from the Oosterdam, Eurodam, and Nieuw Amsterdam have been transformed into 12,000 coasters using Dansk Wilton’s eco-friendly ReBond material. Part of Dansk Wilton’s Re:Shape program, the coasters highlight sustainable design and creative reuse. They will be available in onboard shops fleetwide by October 2025.
“This project reflects our ongoing journey toward more sustainable practices,” said My Nguyen, director of interior design at Holland America Line. “These coasters are a tangible example of how discarded resources can be given a second life in the very environment they came from. We are proud to be the first in the industry to partner with Dansk and innovate carpet waste into beautiful usable products that our guests can enjoy.”
