Fuse Members Divert Over 6.6M Lbs. of Carpet Waste Through Ecollect

Fuse Alliance members diverted more than 6.6 million pounds of carpet waste from landfills in 2014 through the organization’s Ecollect carpet reclamation program, according to the organization.

With a focus on commercial reclamation, Fuse members increased recycling in this category by 2 million pounds, up significantly from 2013. According to the buying group, because commercial recycling and landfill diversion efforts can be challenging in this sector, the increase is a valid example that the Ecollect program has a positive impact on the organization’s sustainability goals.
