As part of its ongoing program to support carpet recycling infrastructure and innovation,
CARE recently awarded three grants:
Cycle 4 Innovation & Design
CARE has awarded Brightworks Sustainability a grant of $67,000 to complete phase 2 of its ongoing work on a "Considerations for Circularity" document. This document and supplementary tools will help guide industry stakeholders in designing for recyclability and complying with related legislation. The project will include an embodied carbon analysis of end-of-life pathways for carpet which will assist companies with carbon disclosure and reduction.
CARE has also awarded Repurpose Earth a grant of $47,000 to test carpet tile cleaning equipment in its Northern and Southern California locations. The equipment is expected to result in a greater volume of reusable carpet tiles and reduced labor costs.
Cycle 5M Grant for Collection and Reuse
An award of $10,000 was made to Colusa County for infrastructure at Maxwell Transfer Station. This project will establish a new public drop-off site, increasing collections access in this rural county.
