The Japan Recycle Carpet Association, based in Tokyo, Japan, has formed a consortium with stakeholders across the recycling value chain to promote the widespread adoption of recycled carpets. The endeavor consists of the collection of used carpet tiles, production of recycled materials, production and use of recycled carpets, and collection of end-of-life products.
JRCA said it aims to establish quality standards for recycled carpets and promotion of standardization, grant a certification mark to recycled carpets that meet the quality standards set by JRCA, and hold events and distribute information to promote the use of recycled carpet.
