Our Executive Director, Bob Peoples, answers this pressing question in the Spring 2014 issue of Green Operations magazine.
A few of Dr. Peoples’ points include:
- While post-consumer carpet can be reused in rare instances, the real opportunity to avoid landfill is recycling.
- Commercial carpet is often much more difficult to recycle because of popular fiber types – but we’re continuously working to expand market capabilities for all fiber varieties.
- The best way to recycle post-consumer carpet is to contact your local recycler and develop a partnership that benefits both parties.
