Recycled Carpet-Derived

ProductsCONTAINING CALIFORNIA-SOURCED CARPET

03-20

Over 320 million pounds of carpet head to California landfills every year—carpet that could be recycled into useful new products. The California Carpet Stewardship Program is working to encourage and promote environmentally-friendly uses for carpet. This catalog lists products that contain California post-consumer carpet material. They are high quality and competitively priced, and make an excellent addition to any project.

Some of the products listed are Double Green™. Double Green™ is a certification program developed and administered by Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) to encourage landfill diversion, and the manufacture and purchase of products containing recycled post-consumer carpet. See CarpetRecovery.org/DoubleGreen for details.

We encourage you to consider including these products in your next construction, landscaping or architectural projects. By creating a market for post-consumer carpet material, more carpet will be diverted from landfill and recycled.

Thank you.

How Is Carpet Recycled?Carpet recycling is a multi-phase process. Carpet is collected, sorted by fiber type, and processed into various feedstocks—fiber, pellets and backing material (post-consumer carpet calcium carbonate, or PC4)—that is then used to manufacture the products in this catalog.

The companies below use innovative processes to create these feedstock materials out of California-sourced carpet:

AQUAFIL Aquafil.com

CIRCULAR POLYMERS CircularPolymers.com

COLUMBIA RECYCLING ColumbiaRecyclingCorp.org

LA FIBER LAFiber.com

LEGGETT & PLATT Leggett.com

WELLMAN PLASTICS WellmanPlastics.com

Is recycled carpet material right for you?Companies incorporating recycled post- consumer carpet (PCC) in their products report improved product quality and reduced cost. If you are looking for a lightweight, durable feedstock for your products, contact Rob Thiess, [email protected] to request a free sample, test results or more information.

Recycled Post Consumer Carpet material is available as PC4—Post-Consumer Carpet Calcium Carbonate—as well as fiber and pellets.
