Carpet recycling
Cavalier Bremworth actively supports the use of waste exchange
and recycling programmes for used carpet.
Recycling and exchange centres can be found throughout the
country such as the Waste
Exchange which operates in most of the North Island and in
Dunedin, Trash Palace in
Porirua, and Terranova
(formerly the Recovered Materials Foundation) which covers much of
the South Island. Most council websites also provide guidance on
recycling options.
The company gifts more than 4000 metres of uplifted carpet a
year to schools and councils in the Auckland region for use as weed
matting. It provides excellent soil nutrients and trials have
demonstrated great results in promoting plant growth.
Many of our commercial contracts are won on the basis of our
commitment to uplift the used carpet and recycle responsibly.
