The EMRC and Australian carpet tile manufacturer InterfaceFLOR have jointly established Australia’s first carpet tile recycling depot. Carpet tile waste is delivered and consolidated at the EMRC’s Hazelmere Recycling Centre before being shipped to InterfaceFLOR in New South Wales for recycling.
InterfaceFLOR has pioneered a successful carpet tile recycling programme known as ReEntry. Using world first technology, ReEntry separates the backing and face cloth of reclaimed carpet tiles and recycles them into new carpet tiles.
Presently, InterfaceFLOR recycles approximately 10,000m2 of carpet tile waste per annum from Western Australia. The collection facility at the EMRC’s Hazelmere Recycling Centre will increase the volume of carpet tiles recycled from Western Australia to 30,000m2.
At this early stage of the project, only carpet tiles approved for recycling by InterfaceFLOR will be accepted at the Hazelmere site.
