Carpet Tile
Reclamation
Program

Carpet makes its way into America’s landfills every year. At Mannington, we have applied a responsible end-of-life plan for the carpet products we manufacture. Through our LOOP® reclamation program, we take back post-consumer carpet tile and closed-loop recycle it back into both carpet and hard surface flooring.

Going the distance to recycle

LOOP® contributes to our goal of becoming a “net user of waste.”

We care about doing what’s right for the world in which we live. We’ve also made it easier for our customers to do what’s right by helping them recycle their used carpet tile.

LOOP contributes to our goal of becoming a net user of waste.

1. Carpet Recycling Requested

Mannington customer calls our 800 number or emails us with a request to recycle their carpet tile.

2. Used Carpet Removed

Working with our customer’s carpet dealer or installer, the old carpet tile is assessed and if applicable removed, packaged and scheduled for pick up.

3. Used Flooring Transported

The used carpet is picked up and transported to our LOOP® recycling center.

4. Used Flooring Processed

The LOOP® recycling facility breaks down the used PVC carpet tile into usable pellets, which are shipped to our manufacturing facility.

5. BioSpec® RE Produced

At our manufacturing facility, some of the recycled pellets are used to create our BioSpec® RE resilient sheet flooring.

6. Infinity® RE Backing Produced

In addition, our facility applies the recycled pellets to a fiberglass scrim, turning it into Infinity® RE backing that is then used as backing in our carpet manufacturing facility.
