Become a recycler

If you are considering starting a carpet recycling or re-use venture, we can provide information and support. We can also introduce you to people with carpet to recycle, people who use raw materials from recycled carpet, and funding advisors when funding is available.

Starting a carpet recycling venture

Carpet recycling is a complex process. It can be worthwhile if you have the infrastructure and scale to handle volume operations and access to bulk carpet waste. We can help you decide whether recycling is right for you and then support you as you put technology and processes into place.

Starting a carpet tile re-use scheme.

Several Carpet Recycling UK members have successfully started not-for-profit carpet tile re-use schemes. We can explain what’s involved and share learning from the schemes already up and running.

Regulations relevant to carpet recycling and re-use

Any organisation storing or processing carpet waste must comply with strict environment agency rules and obtain the relevant permits and/or exemptions.
