How to join
UK Sustainable Flooring Alliance (formerly Carpet Recycling UK) membership is an application process. If you are a recycler, the application process includes an audit from our team to check you are properly licensed, have the relevant equipment, and follow good practice.
We’ll also then ask you to keep a log of tonnage recycled so we can collate the numbers each year.
