Carpet Recycling UK membership ‘is worth its weight in gold’

Carpet Recycling UK membership ‘is worth its weight in gold’ according to one award winner who says it has contributed to their sustainability goals and helped to achieve annual savings of up to £170,000 a year on disposal costs by recycling their waste materials, including carpet.

Held online this year, the annual Carpet Recycling UK Awards For Good Practice were sponsored by recycling technology members. Carpet Recycling UK wishes to thank these companies who would normally take part in the networking available at the annual conference exhibition.

The awards, which have been running for seven years, recognise the important achievements and contributions by members – both individuals and organisations – who continue to advance the sustainability of their business within the carpet, rug and textile flooring sector, and seek to help use carpet, carpet tile and other textile flooring waste as a resource in the circular economy.

CRUK’s mission is to grow its membership and presence, and to promote design for recycling to reduce waste and the diversion from landfill of textile flooring waste in the UK to a resource for sustainable use.
