Exhibition cancelled but CRUK continues to work with retail buying group members

Carpet Recycling UK is sorry to announce that this year’s Buying Groups National Flooring Show which was due to take place on 13-14 May 2020 has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus. 

Whilst we will miss meeting retailer buying group members at the show, CRUK will continue to discuss sustainable products and advise on latest outlets for carpet and textile flooring wastes with the retailers and invites companies to contact and update us on their progress and challenges relating to carpet waste.

“Retail buying groups support our efforts and how we can help their members to further improve their environmental credentials by recycling their carpet waste,” comments Adnan Zeb-Khan, CRUK Scheme Manager.  “Retailers and flooring contractors continue to express interest in diverting carpet waste from landfill and recognise the opportunities that this can generate for their businesses.”

“By supporting our carpet retailer members’ recycling endeavours with Point of Sale promotional packs, membership certificates and a listing on the CRUK website, we confirm their commitment to improving their environmental credentials – and contributing to the circular economy,” adds Adnan.

Flooring manufacturers of carpet tile, carpets and underlay are engaging with CRUK in ongoing sustainability related to design and production of new products.  CRUK invites manufacturers to demonstrate their ranges to us at the show.  Carpet Recycling UK thanks its core funder members, who are shown below.
