Recycled Mat-ters™ to Me and to You!

Most people have a general idea about what “recycling” is, thinking that it’s somehow related to one’s trash. But, it isn’t related to trash at all, rather it’s the preserving or reducing the wasting of resources.

The recycling industry isn’t just about chewing up tires and making “new” products. In fact, the most energy efficient way to recycle is to re-use or re-purpose to another solution and reducing the amount of “embodied” energy added along the way.

At Recycled Mat-ters™

We’ve figured that out with the rubber floor mat, commercial carpet tiles, giant storage bins, containers, food-grade IBC totes, shop towels, and aprons. And, all at half the price of buying “new” for our customers, employing a Marine, a high-school student, and some “old” folks – right here in Lakewood, Colorado, USA. In our five years, not one floor mat we’ve received has gone from us to the landfill. The same with all of our other products.

We at Recycled Mat-ters™ are not “certified” by anybody. No government agency, no external organization, no “good-seal-of-approval”; just 1,576, more than satisfied customers to date.

The only thing Recycled Mat-ters™ won’t recycle is customer service. Call us. We’ll take the time to help you make earth-friendly solutions a habit – you won’t just end up green.

History of Recycled Mat-ters™

Having been around such a short time, we have made it our goal to see our world improved by keeping as many rubber floor mats out of landfills (so far, about two-hundred each week) and put back into productive use as possible. Adding our other Recycled, Refurbished, Repurposed, and Reusable products along the way, we’ve found that businesses and individuals both are looking for alternative solutions to just buying the “new” product. Apparently, the word is getting out there that we are the resource people are looking for, having gone from one-on-one sales, to large event settings, to expanding our recycled product line sales outlets from just one to  five – and more on the way.

……and we’re not alone. We have partnered with Recyclers who have figured out how to divert other waste-stream products back into productive, useful lives – the variety of these products and the volumes involved are staggering. These partners promote our products and we promote theirs. When you call us about floor mats, carpet tile or outdoor storage solutions, if we think what would really work best for you is something one of our partners offers, we will recommend our partner get in touch with you. Better yet, if our circle of Recyclers isn’t the source for your need, being members of a number of organizations in the sustainable/earth-first world, we will probably recommend an organization/company member that is.
