REDUCE, REUSE, RECOVER: The Mohawk Group is on a roll with new carpet recycling program

KENNESAW, Ga. — Being green has never been easier. Furthering its steadfast commitment to sustainability, The Mohawk Group introduces ReCover, a new carpet recycling program designed to make carpet reclamation more effective and customer-friendly than ever before.

"The Mohawk Group is committed to the communities where we live and work, and we continue to place sustainability at the core of our business - from our product offerings and technologies to our new recycling program," said Diann Barbacci, vice president of sustainable design for The Mohawk Group. "With ReCover, we have found a new way to put used carpet back to work, increasing our role in a healthier future for our planet."

Everything Goes

The ReCover program aims to make "doing the right thing" as easy as possible, without restrictions. Regardless of yardage, yarn, backing or manufacturer, the ReCover program has it covered. With just one phone call, The Mohawk Group will get the job rolling, and:

• Recycle the carpet at dedicated reclamation centers throughout North America
• Arrange for containers and coordinate shipping
• Provide a comprehensive price quote within 24 to 48 hours
• Issue a reclamation certificate

Utilizing a growing network of carpet recyclers, the ReCover program ensures that reclaimed carpet is disposed of responsibly, reducing the overflowing burden on landfills and minimizing the total environmental impact of carpet. Additionally, the ReCover program is building an infrastructure to increase the reclamation of used carpet, helping to achieve the goals of the Carpet America Recovery Effort (C.A.R.E.), an industry-wide and government initiative dedicated to the recycling and reuse of post-consumer carpet.

After removal of the old carpet, The Mohawk Group can help specify new floorcoverings from a wide selection of modular, broadloom and woven carpet for any market within its six brands - Karastan Contract, Durkan Commercial, Lees Carpets, Mohawk Commercial, Bigelow Commercial and Durkan Hospitality - all with sustainable features already built-in to guarantee superior performance and a long life cycle in any application.
