Carpet Recycling in CaliforniaBuy Recycled
More than 350 million pounds of carpet is discarded in California landfills every year—carpet that could be recycled into useful new products. The California Carpet Stewardship Program is working to develop markets for recycled post-consumer carpet via grants, technical assistance and promotion.
Post-consumer carpet is recycled by processors into fibers or plastic pellets, which can be used to make a broad range of products, including carpet, carpet tiles, carpet underlayment, and products for the automotive, transportation, and construction industries.
See over for a list of vendors offering products containing recycled California post-consumer carpet.
Procurement Grants
In 2016, grants totaling $500,000 (maximum grant of $50,000) will be awarded for procurement of recycled post-consumer carpet products by California public agencies. Details on grant application timeline and supported products can be found here: www.carpetrecovery.org/ca-grants/.
