Carpet recycling has room for massive improvement

28/01/2010 10:40:12

 

Carpet recycling has significant room for improvement, environmentalists have said.

Carpets could make a much bigger contribution to recycling efforts, environmental campaigners have said.

At present, only around two per cent of carpets are recycled, with the vast majority ending up in landfill.

According to Recycle.co.uk, a website that tries to find new owners for unwanted items, research is underway into a new method for recycling carpets.

"The technique turns the carpets into plastic polymer that can be used in a number of different products," Recycle.co.uk said.

Office materials account for a significant proportion of the waste that goes into landfill, which makes new methods for improving recycling rates increasingly important.

Carpets are often thrown out when large office buildings are torn down or when businesses carry out major refits.

Businesses are being encouraged to use recycled carpet and also look for more sustainable means of disposing of carpet they no longer need.
