Every carpet has a future beyond the floor it’s laid on. We make sure it’s a better one. Sustainable long-term solutions for mixed carpet waste. In the UK, carpet disposal has posed a persistent challenge, with no sustainable long-term solutions for decades. Through innovation, partnerships, and UK-based processing, we’ve changed that. At Carpet Recycling Solutions (CRS), we now recycle up to 80% of post-consumer carpet—drastically cutting landfill use and turning waste into a valuable resource.

Our goal? To collect and recycle end-of-life domestic and industrial carpets while reclaiming materials—like calcium carbonate—for reuse in other industries.

Collection & Sorting

We collect carpets from businesses, recycling centres, events, & manufacturers, sorting them by type & material composition.

Shredding & Processing

Carpets are processed to separate fibres from backing materials, with each component prepared for specialist reuse in their end-market.

Material Recovery

Polypropylene fibres are cleaned and pelletised for use in manufacturing. Calcium carbonate fillers are reclaimed for industrial applications..

Reuse & Repurpose

These reclaimed materials are used in automotive parts, injection moulded products, 3D printing, and even sustainable equestrian flooring solutions

Polypropylene, when repurposed provides exceptional qualities of strength and recyclability that will provide a strong marketable end of line product that can be continually repurposed to manufacture components across a wide range of industries.

Injection Moulding
Recycled polypropylene can be utilised in a wide range of components and products across multiple industries. With new legislation coming forward in the UK on recycled content in 2022, ensuring a ready supply of reclaimed plastics will be essential for industry.

3D Printing
New trials and R&D projects are increasingly allowing recycled plastics in the filaments used in 3D printing, allowing a greener, more sustainable approach to this still relatively new technology. Building a constant supply of recycled plastics will be vital to developing this further.

Automotive
OEM manufacturers such as Volvo and Peugeot Citroen are increasing the amount of recycled plastic, including polypropylene, content in the design and components of new vehicle models, aiming for a minimum of 25% from 2025 onwards.
