CARPET & CARPET TILES RETAILERS KEEP RECYCLING
According to Carpet Recycling UK (CRUK), more and more retailers are signing up to recycle their carpet waste as they recognise the twin benefits of potential disposal cost savings and the ability to offer an enhanced customer service.
CRUK attracted much interest from the many people who visited its stand and seminar programme at last month’s Flooring Show in Harrogate. It also announced that Flooring One, a subsidiary of Associated Independent Stores (AIS) which is one of the biggest central buying and marketing organisations in the country, has joined CRUK as an associate member. “This year’s
[flooring] event revealed significant raised awareness of CRUK’s activities and it was apparent that the perception and profile of CRUK had risen substantially during 2012,” commented CRUK Director, Laurance Bird. “This is tremendously encouraging as we work towards our target of 25% landfill diversion by 2015.”
Laurance also said that increased levels of enquiries and interest revealed the sector is recognising that carpet waste is an issue and is more willing to explore carpet recycling ideas than ever before. Concern over cost of disposal of carpet waste, plus a desire to demonstrate ‘green’ credentials and differentiate their business in competitive
consumer markets were recurring themes among retailers. “It was obvious that carpet waste is a serious issue for the flooring sector and retailers are keen to take positive action,” Laurance continued. “They are recognising the twin benefits of take-back schemes for installation offcuts that can reduce their
disposal costs and the ability to position themselves as more environmentally- friendly businesses.”
