Help Reduce Your Business’ Impact on
the Earth - Buy Recycled Carpet
Next time your company needs to
purchase a new carpet, you can invest in the environment at the same time by buying
recycled carpet. Recycled carpet is readily
available and competitively priced. Manufacturers
offer carpet backing made from 100% reclaimed carpet, and some of these products include
recycled-content, carpet face fiber. Also,
carpet is being made from 100% recycled PET polyester, plastic soda bottles. This product is known for its resistance to
stains, fading, and abrasion.
You might want to consider carpet
tiles rather than the traditional rolls of carpet. The
tiles allow small sections to be replaced when soiled or damaged. As with recycled carpet, carpet tiles are
available through many manufacturers and distributors.
Milliken Carpet has developed a unique process in which your old
carpet tiles will be recovered, cleaned, rejuvenated, and restyled in preparation for
reuse, either within your company or another location, at about half the cost of
new carpet. Their remanufacturing process
allows carpet to stay carpet, eliminating carpet waste entirely.

that provide recycled carpet options, contact WasteCap.
