 The California carpet recycling rate was 35% for the year 2023 and reached 41% in Q1 2024, pulling even with the statewide recycling rate for all materials. This annual rate is an 83% increase over 2019’s rate despite economic and operational challenges that have created significant headwinds.

Nayyer Carpets has a production capacity of 50 million square meters annually and is poised to serve markets across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Africa, India, and Pakistan.

Bob Peoples, executive director of Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE), attended The Flooring Sustainability Summit where he spoke on carpet recycling. Here, he talks more in-depth about the Summit, the history of CARE, and the AB-863 California carpet recycling bill.  

The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) announced the retirement of Richard Turner, director of technical services, and the appointment of Darrell Hagan as the new director of technical and programs. 

California lawmakers recently updated the state's carpet recycling program, which will take effect in January. The Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) is working to understand how the new requirements will impact its existing approved plan.  

Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) has requested CalRecycle's approval for an increase in carpet recycling fees, proposed to take effect February 1, 2025. The adjustment aims to meet new reserve requirements mandated by CalRecycle for year-end 2025.

The Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) will host its 23rd Annual Conference under the theme "Carpet Recycling: Riding the Sustainability Wave" at the Sea Bird Resort in Oceanside, California, May 20-21, 2025.  

At the Starnet 2024 fall meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, flooring industry veteran Robert Varden introduced Advanced Flooring Technology's (AFT) new commercial carpet installation certification program, designed for non-union contractors. The three-day program combines training and evaluation and focuses on pattern correction, adhesive application, and technical skills.
