10 Tile reuse and recycling in million carpet tiles 330,000 m 2 Equivalent to: 4,125 average classroom refurbishments

11 Recyclers 29 carpet recycling outlets in the UK: o 9 reuse o 20 recyclers & fuel flock specialists Growth in use of fibres for equestrian surfaces and felts Energy recovery

12 WRAP FM Guide for facilities professionals Commissioned by WRAP and produced by Carpet Recycling UK Guidance by carpet and tile type on best reuse recycling or energy recovery options Can be downloaded at :

13 Identifying carpet and tile types for recycling Carpets are composites multiple materials, different types of construction UK usage by type in square metres : Tufted 75 % - domestic and commercial Needlefelt 19 % - auto, leisure, education Woven 6 % - hospitality/leisure Tiles use tufted or needlefelt surface with bitumen, felt, or synthetic backings

14 Carpet type tufted loop pile PP with PP felt back High PP content has potential value in recycling

15 Carpet type tufted cut pile with PP back High PP content has potential value in recycling

16 Carpet type needlefelt with resin back High PP content but low value if screed contamination

17 Carpet type woven wool or PP pile - pattern Mixed yarns in pile and back low value energy recovery

18 Carpet tiles nylon pile bitumen backing Manufacturer Take Back schemes e.g Desso

19 Carpet tile polymer backing Starting to replace bitumen better recyclability

20 Tips for planning refurbishment Identify carpet or tile to uplift type/quantity Contact recycling/uplift partner(s) Get supplier guidance on uplift too Consider reuse for tiles first contact reuse experts get CSR advantage Advice from WRAP Guide and CRUK call and speak to Marie Rhodes

21 VISION 2015 Reducing the Environmental Impact of Flooring Session 2: 11:45 12:30 End of Life Options for Carpet

22 End of life options for carpets Vision London 2015 Jane Gardner, Carpet Recycling UK 2 nd June 2015

23 Consider the waste hierarchy Re-use in your own refurbishment Re-use by a third party Recycling Energy from waste Landfill

24 Products from carpets - Reuse

25 Carpet Tiles : Aquafil/ Desso Extracting Nylon fibres for reprocessing into new yarns

26 Equestrian surfaces

27 Plastic recovery

28 Underlay

29 Energy recovery Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) Coal replacement in cement kilns High calorific value Low Chlorine content

30 Keeping carpet out of general waste stream optimises end of life potential

31 Best practice for refurbishment Plan early Specify your needs to the contractor

32 Clauses in contracts This locks contractors into providing a service where carpets can be recycled Specify uplift for re-use Specify segregation Planning early ensures waste minimisation

33 Determine flooring type Is it broadloom or carpet tiles? Synthetic or wool? Construction Don t know? Ask the experts!

34 Find your recycler Location Carpet type Collection or drop off Call early for quote Carpet Recycling UK website

35 Information for the recycler Tonnage and flooring area Location Carpet type Can it be used again? Transportation on pallets, loose or baled?

36 Best practice Plan early Provide clearly signed areas to segregate your carpet waste Keep it dry! Communicate to all parties the importance of reusing or recycling

49 VISION 2015 Reducing the Environmental Impact of Flooring Session 3: 12:45 13:30 Specifying New Carpet

50 Selecting new flooring what to look out for Vision London 2015 Nichola Mundy, Carpet Recycling UK 2 nd June 2015

51 Selection criteria How can the new product: Extend wear life Reduce environmental impact Reduce waste Increase possibility of reuse and recycling at end of life

52 Extending wear life Lowers cost of ownership Increases sustainability Factors to consider: Pile weight Pile density Yarn type Choice of underlay Backing Wear life extended by up to 20% as resilient backings absorb foot shocks

53 Reducing environmental impact By increasing recycled content: Yarns: Nylon yarns, Aquafil Invista Universal Fibres Backings: Secondary backing with recycled content egetæpper Carre Modular carpet tile with 100% recycled Econyl pile yarn from Aquafil S.p.A

54 Reduce waste Lower wastage level = lower material usage Random lay tiles reduce waste to 1.5% vs average 5% Quadrant, Metro random lay

55 Increase recyclability at end of life Backing systems that enable flooring to be uplifted cleanly: Tackifier adhesive Non stick backings eliminate use of adhesive Traction back Miliken

56 Cleaning and maintenance Planned maintenance Carpet lasts longer Reduces whole life cost Increased potential for reuse after first life Walk off matting Cleaning and maintenance Obex Matting Solutions by Milliken

57 Ratings Help to determine environmental credentials: BRE ratings Environmental impact from manufacture and in use Prodis: Assess products based on luxury and wear performance

100 Summary. Palmer Market Research 100

101 SUMMARY The contract carpet market in 2013 was 25.5 million square metres and growing Of which 12.1 million square metres were rolls. And 13.4 million square metres were tiles. 10% of rolls and 29% of tiles are made from recycled yarns 62% of carpet tiles have backings made from more than 50% recycled content. Offcuts account for 11% waste (averaging out rolls and tiles) Another 5% is wasted through a combination of over ordering, faulty products, and damage. In 40% of projects, environmental issues are the 1 st or 2 nd most important considerations for specifiers when choosing a type of floorcovering. Recycled content of product is the most important environmental issue for specifiers. 78% of the market is in replacement work which gives added importance to company specifiers and the most important influence on them is flooring contractors advice.
