I find more about carpet recycling in the news every day. In addition to articles and blog posts, I’ve discovered several videos on YouTube that tell the carpet recycling story from various points of view. Here are a few good examples, although there are many more.
First, I found a 6:17 interview with Kim Matsoukas, director of sustainability for CRI-member manufacturer Bentley Prince Street on California’s AB 2398 carpet recycling law.
Natural Interiors‘ Nancy Kibbee spotlights several Ohio carpet retailers who are collecting carpet for recycling in their communities on the Natural Interiors blog.
Here’s a 2:54 video from SF Carpet Recycling in San Francisco. Unfortunately, this company is no longer in business, but the video is very informative, with excellent information about what people need to do to prepare carpet to be ready for pickup by recyclers.

Exhibitors Carpet Service posted this video of their operations. It’s a mixture of video and still photography with some great imagery, but I didn’t always understand what the machines are doing. But, at only 1:42, it’s fun to watch. And if you can fill me in on all the steps in the process, I’d love to hear from you.
