When it comes to the carpet industry and the work it has done on the sustainability side it is hard to argue with the success and strides it has made over the years–especially the last dozen or so when it helped spearhead the formation of the Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE).
CARE was created in 2002 as part of a voluntary effort to help not only divert post-consumer carpet (PCC) from landfills, but to help find afterlife solutions for this material—from recycling it back into new carpet to using the various components that make up broadloom and carpet tile for other products.
