Out with the old

Anticipating new carpeting, one can worry about where the old carpet and padding is going to end up? Now we are overjoyed to find out it gets RECYCLED. Woo Hoo!

The future uses can simply be other related products like backing for carpet tiles or fiber underlay pad that goes under carpet. Or, the new uses can be quite interesting. Some of the other things post consumer carpet may become are plastic parts for cars, reusable hay for sediment control on construction sites, sewage pipes, or concrete reinforcement.

Who knew that the trampled old carpet can be turned into something useful.
