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.

Pretty much any material can be reused and reformed into another surface. As well as other carpets synthetic material can be combined with rubber and sand in order to reform into an equestrian surface. The backing can also be reused to form road surfaces. The chances are you have stood on something that used to be a carpet without knowing it!

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.

Natural materials can also be reformed. Non woven fibres can be used as insulation. Sound insulation is useful if you want to record music and not disturb people in the rest of the house. Most people know that insulating the roof helps to trap heat and reduce energy costs. However it is worth knowing that this can also be used in walls and other parts of the house as well.

All materials that can be reused have a high calorific value. This has nothing to do with food but in terms of the energy they burn off. This means that instead of using finite fossil fuels you can use this reused material as a fuel for kilns instead. Therefore as well as reusing the material you are also preventing over consumption and dependency on fossil fuel.

When comparing carpet recycling California companies you need to be aware of what is available. Talk to companies to get information on how they will reuse the material and the cost of their services. Ideally you want to compare at least three in order to be sure you are getting a responsible service. You should also check online for customer feedback to see who has offered the best service at the best possible price.
