The importance of buying recycledMinnesotans are among the top Recyclers in the Nation – 5th
MN Recycling rates … in 2017 we reported 1,952,029 tons of recyclable materials collected. • Rate Recyclables = 1,773 T/household • Municipal Solid Waste = 2,605 T/household
We can be the best recycling collectors in the world, but if we are not intentional about the circular nature of recycling we are missing a critical part of it.

Each piece of carpet is tested to identify the polymer type and to prevent cross contamination of the finished product

Post-Consumer Carpet (PCC) is recycled in one of several ways. There are several processes by which the carpet fibers can be recovered and reused. Bro-Tex collects and recycles over 12 million pounds of carpet annually.
1. Shearing: The process of shearing is to shave off the top 20% of the carpet face fiber separating it from the backing.
2. Grinding: The process of grinding is where the entire carpet is shredded into a fiber blend.
3. Pelletizing: The process of pelletizing is to melt the carpet fibers into a molten resin and cut it into pellets for extrusion and molding.

Carpet Recycling and Impacts on the Environment About 45% of carpet is recyclable nylon
There are more than 6.5 billion pounds of carpet going into landfills inNorth America every year
By diverting 1,000 square yards of carpet from landfills, it saves :
• 440 gallons of oil, • 10,000 BTU’s of energy • diverts 4,500 lbs from a landfill
Recycling saves resources & creates jobs

Lithium Batteries in your everyday life.
• Li-Ion batteries are replacing most other rechargeable battery chemistries
• Lithium batteries have a much higher energy density than other rechargeable chemistries
• Many “dead” Li-Ion batteries still have significant energy and must be properly managed at end of life
• Lithium batteries require terminal protection to avoid thermal runway or sparking risks
