Carpet Web Symposium: Rolling Out the Carpet to Recycling and the Circular Economy (United States focus)

A recent surge of interest among U.S. governments in extended producer responsibility legislation for carpet has led to the introduction of four bills across the country this year. At the same time, recent developments in technology and markets are fueling expanded opportunities for carpet recycling.

The Product Responsibility Institute, an ISWA member, organises this free two-part web symposium. During the symposium carpet policy experts, U.S. carpet recyclers, and manufacturers using recycled carpet polymers will share information about cutting edge policy development, advanced recycling technologies, and new markets that are making it possible to put recycled carpet polymers back into carpet, textiles, packaging, and building products. The speakers will also address the many benefits of carpet recycling, including greenhouse gas reductions, toxics reduction, job creation, and economic growth.

This 2 day web symposium takes place on 25 – 26 May from 1.30 – 3.00 PM Eastern Time.
