Helping the UK carpet and textile flooring sector be more sustainable
Carpet Recycling UK is an independent non-profit
membership association working with companies
across the supply chain for textile flooring . We
help foster strategic collaborations and networks
to develop viable solutions for carpet and
other textile flooring waste . We recognised a
clear change in attitudes towards sustainability
solutions from key decision makers at the show
and several manufacturers discussed how they
can make a difference ahead of any forthcoming
legislative / extended producer responsibility
changes . With core funding from flooring
manufacturers Balsan , Betap , Brintons , Cormar ,
DESSO , ege , Headlam Lifestyle Floors , Milliken
and Shaw , our network spans the carpet supply
chain and waste recovery sector . This allows
our members to take advantage of emerging
opportunities in reuse and recycling including
sustainable raw materials for manufacture and
identifying suitable outlets nationwide and
innovations in material processing .

Designer Contracts enhances sustainable product offering with eco-engineered underlay
Designer Contracts , the UK ’ s largest flooring
contractor , has launched a brand new ,
sustainable underlay made from recycled
plastic bottles . An eco-friendly alternative to
PU foam , felt and rubber underlay , SpringBond
is manufactured in the UK and is made from
85 percent recycled fibres . Designer Contracts
worked closely with the manufacturers to
develop the exclusive offer of the 7mm and
9mm underlay products for the new build
market , which is fully recyclable at the end
of its life . Said Designer Contracts md , Peter
Kelsey : “ We are excited by this brand-new
product , which demonstrates our passion and
commitment to the environment , and we feel
that homeowners will be just as enthusiastic .
Interestingly , if the average three-bedroom
household used it throughout their property ,
they would divert the equivalent of 1000 500ml
PET plastic bottles from landfill !”
