Carpet Recycling UK (CRUK) is urging visitors to the Buying Groups National Flooring Show (BGNFS) to bring knowledge and information of their current waste and recycling contracts with them, if they want help in finding sustainable solutions for their carpet and textile flooring wastes.
Exhibiting on stand P230 in the Platinum Showroom at the Cranmore Park venue from 10 – 11 May, the not-for-profit association will be offering advice on latest outlets for carpet and textile flooring wastes with retailers and manufacturers alike.
Adnan Zeb-Khan, CRUK Manager, comments: “We’re encouraging people to come equipped with knowing their existing waste and recycling contracts, such as how much they spend, which contractors they use, and to have some knowledge about their different waste streams and where they are going.
“With this preparation and by understanding your waste streams and all associated costs, we can then see if we’re able to help you further.
“If you are currently segregating your waste materials, you may already be on a sustainable disposal journey. But you need to know where the waste is going, so ask your waste management provider.
“How much did you produce, what did you spend over the last six to twelve months on your waste management contract and how is it being treated?”
Companies are invited to talk to us about our membership – join us to help your organisation to stay abreast of industry developments, new and developing technologies and collaborate with the sector to increase sustainability.
