The Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) has embarked on a campaign to attract current product manufacturers who may benefit from adding recycled carpet content to their products to gain Double Green certification.
Double Green-labeled products contain recycled California post-consumer carpet (PCC) material plus at least one other post-consumer recycled material. CARE says manufacturers may be able to reduce their raw material costs and expand profit margins by using PCC face fiber and/or backing material post consumer carpet calcium carbonate (PC4) in manufacturing processes.
