ReStart® CLOSED–LOOP RECYCLING PROCESSIt is estimated that five billion pounds of carpet is sent to U.S. landfills each year. According to industry statistics, the amount of “end-of-life” carpet entering the waste stream is increasing. Since its C&A brand began the Infinity Initiative, its closed-loop recycling program, Tandus has diverted more than 150 million pounds of reclaimed vinyl and vinyl backed carpet from landfills and incinerators to be used for 100 percent recycled-content backing for its floor coverings. Rather than use virgin raw materials, the company buys back old vinyl-backed floor coverings, regardless of original manufacturer. C&A’s sustainable warranty guarantees that it will be recycled in its entirety. |
