CARE’s California Carpet Stewardship Program continued to make progress in Q2 2021. The Recycling Rate for Q2 was 29 percent, setting another high-water mark. The yield (output/collections) — an important measure of recycling efficiency — reached 83 percent. Efforts continue to enable expanded collections to support the higher recycled output. Eighty-four percent of program expenses were paid out in the form of subsidies. In terms of national trends, Executive Director Bob Peoples notes, “All indicators continue to point in the right direction as the U.S. grapples with the latest Covid surge and supply chains remain strained. Transportation costs have doubled and then some in many areas.”
