Carpet and flooring industry personnel, I need your help!   I am trying to connect with professionals / individuals from the flooring sector.   This in part will grow my network that will help me bring exciting news about Innovate Recycle but also, start to build a community that helps the carpet industry move towards:   Increased recycling rates More accurate information and statistics. Needs and wants of the manufacturers and retailers. Environmental, Social and Governance guidance. Best practices (installing, waste collection, best products to purchase). Adhering to the waste hierarchy (reduce, reuse, and recycle) Support local community groups.   As the UK attempts to move towards circularity & net zero, the carpet industry sees – bulky waste (like carpet) decreasing landfill space, the removal of the use of carpet waste in equine surfacing (RPS 248 withdrawal Jan 19th 2024), carpet waste being replaced by furniture containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP’s) in Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities and, huge increases to overall carpet / flooring disposal costs.   All the above not in our industries favour and from an outsider’s point of view, having negative impacts on the carpet industry’s image.   As an industry the need is to support this stage of transformation with rigor and speed to get one step ahead of pending UK/EU legislation that sets the groundwork for a compulsory and unfavourable “environmental tax” on the carpet industry.   My ask, Will you help support this movement by joining my network, commenting on posts, and inviting others in your own network to do the same?   This will allow more reach for news, updates, and information across the sector, as Innovate Recycle continues to transform the way the carpet / flooring sector transitions to a more circular industry.   A huge thanks in advance.   Warm Regards   Joe Eccleston Founder – CEO Innovate Recycle www.innovaterecycle.co.uk #carpets #carpet #carpetdesign #esg #community #carpetrecycling #recycling

Something that should be considered.

In the quest for sustainability, companies around the globe are reimagining their practices to minimize environmental impact. Flooring, a cornerstone of interior design, is no exception. Two companies leading the charge in sustainable flooring solutions are Interface and Tarkett, each offering innovative approaches to eco-conscious design in the realms of carpet and vinyl flooring, respectively. Interface: Redefining Carpet Sustainability Interface, a global leader in modular flooring, has long been at the forefront of sustainability in the carpet industry. With a vision of becoming a restorative enterprise by 2040, Interface has pioneered numerous initiatives to reduce its environmental footprint. 1.

By using renewable materials, reducing energy consumption, and implementing carbon capture technology, Interface strives to create products with a net positive impact on the environment. 2. Net-Works® Program Interface's Net-Works® program tackles the issue of ocean plastic pollution by collecting discarded fishing nets from coastal communities and recycling them into carpet tiles. This innovative initiative not only helps clean up marine ecosystems but also provides economic opportunities for local communities. 3. Carbon Neutral Floors™ Interface offers a range of carbon-neutral flooring options, including carpet tiles made from recycled materials and powered by renewable energy. By offsetting remaining emissions through reforestation projects and renewable energy investments, Interface ensures that its products have a minimal carbon footprint.
