Carpet Recycling UK Limited

Carpet Recycling UK is an independent non-profit membership association working with manufacturers, distributors, contractors, retailers, fitters and the waste sector to divert carpet waste from landfill.  Set up in 2008 by industry leaders, Carpet Recycling UK works to foster strategic collaborations and networks to develop viable solutions for carpet and other textile flooring waste.

With our network spanning the carpet supply chain and waste recovery sector, this allows our members to take advantage of emerging opportunities in carpet recycling including sustainable raw materials for manufacture, reuse of products, take-back schemes and identifying recycling outlets nationwide, or innovations in material processing.

With a membership of over 100 companies, core funding comes from carpet companies who are ahead of the game and taking voluntary producer responsibility, these are Balsan, Betap, Brintons, Cormar, Tarkett DESSO, ege Carpets, Headlam Lifestyle Floors, Milliken and Shaw.

The core funders are strategic supporters of Carpet Recycling UK, working together to help us to disseminate latest information to and represent the carpet industry in the UK and international marketplace.   They are taking a lead because they recognise that producer responsibility for the product at the end of first life is essential for building a sustainable business model.
