How retailers can benefit from recycling carpets
Latest information on how retailers can benefit from recycling carpets and carpet off-cuts will be a key focus in a Carpet Recycling UK seminar on Monday September 22 at the Harrogate Flooring Show.
Taking the theme of ‘Carpets – resources for the Circular Economy’, the seminar from 10.45 to 11.30am aims to build awareness of the opportunities for flooring suppliers to recycle carpet waste and how this sustainable approach can enhance their businesses.
CRUK will provide an overview of the latest developments in carpet recycling, including the growth of Take Back programmes across the country.
This will be followed by a presentation from Designer Contracts, a leading contractor and CRUK member, on their experience and success with recycling carpet off-cuts.
CRUK Director Laurance Bird commented: “We have made terrific progress since 2008 in reusing and recycling all types of carpet; yet there is still much that can and has to be done. Having set a new target of diverting 60% carpet waste from landfill by 2020, it is vital that we engage with and encourage as many flooring suppliers as possible to come on board.”
CRUK, the industry’s association for recycling and reusing carpet, will be exhibiting at stand M35 during the three-day show, and welcomes enquiries from all types of organisations interested in recycling waste carpet.
