RECYCLING CARPET ON THE RISE
A pioneering new carpet waste recycling service, launched by 4Recycling Ltd, has helped a North Yorkshire hotel to divert nearly five tonnes of waste carpet from landfill and save on disposal costs.
The Leeds-based firm, a member of Carpet Recycling UK, uplifted and removed old wool carpets from all three floors of the 18th century Talbot Hotel at Malton, which is currently undergoing a multi-million pound
8 complete refurbishment.
The Stourton site accepts any type of carpet waste, which is then identified, segregated and processed before being sent for recycling. Wool-rich carpets are typically shredded and composted for re-use as a growing medium for ‘contained’ environments, such as plant pots or grow-bags.
Commenting on the project’s success, 4Recycling Director
Paul Gilbert says their carpet recycling service offers a convenient, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly disposal route for all types of commercial establishments undertaking renovation works. It also allows them to demonstrate their sustainable, green credentials to existing and potential customers.
According to Paul, volumes of carpet waste are growing and there is more demand for it to be recycled due to

increased environmental awareness, together with rising landfill costs.
“We’re working with Carpet Recycling UK and the various carpet sectors to develop sustainable solutions for re-use of carpet waste and expect to process around 25,000 tonnes in our first year alone,” he adds.
