Finding Carpet Recycling California Companies

By Bonnie Contreras


There are a lot of things that are available and that ought to be recycled. While most people are aware that paper, card and plastics can be recycled they may not be aware that other items can also be reclaimed and reused. Carpets are one thing you may not necessarily think of and there are a number of carpet recycling California companies that can do the work for you.

Thousands of tonnes of material that these carpets are made from get disposed of every day. This includes woollen fibres and plastic. Over time this is added to landfill that builds up more and more causing more environmental problems. It is crucial that this unnecessary waste is minimised as much as possible.

For example if the carpet is wool rich then it will often be stripped down in order to add additional nitrogen to compost and other soil enhancers. This helps to benefit the nitrogen cycle, something that is vital to life on Earth as this keeps plants alive, animals eat the plants, meat eating animals eat the plants and so forth.

What you may not realise is that any material can be stripped down and then reused into another carpet. It may seem strange but there is every chance that somewhere you have been to will have a surface that was once another surface elsewhere. Therefore even if your surface is worn out you should not assume that it cannot be used again.

With synthetic materials they can be reused as equestrian surfaces. The way this works is that the synthetic material is mixed with sand and rubber in order to form this surface. Nylon can also be reformed into plastics that can then go onto form parts for various appliances, reducing the need for additional plastic to be made from unsustainable sources.

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of this process is additional fuel. As more fossil fuels are consumed people are looking for more sustainable alternatives due to the fact that there is a finite supply of these fossil fuels. Carpet made from any type of material can be recycled into a fuel flock that can be used as a substitute for coal in cement kilns, helping to reduce the dependency on coal.

Any material can be stripped down to form fuel. As well as reusing the material there is the added bonus that it is a reusable fuel. Instead of using coal the pellets formed from the stripped material can be burned instead, helping to conserve fossil fuels that will run out over time.

When comparing carpet recycling California companies it is vital that you consider what is best suited to your individual requirements. They should be willing to provide details on how they will use the material and the costs involved. Look online to see what is available near you as well as feedback on the company from previous clients in order to ensure you get the best possible service.
