When You Recycle With Harry's Carpets:
-
Oil & Energy Conservation: Recycling just one average home’s carpet (around 1,000 sq. ft.) keeps roughly 500 lbs of bulky material out of local dumps and saves the energy equivalent of up to 40 gallons of oil.
-
Circular Manufacturing: Recovered nylon, polypropylene, and foam padding are broken down and re-engineered into brand new commercial underlayment, auto parts, insulation, and durable consumer plastics.
-
Cleaner Air & Soil: High-temperature processing keeps toxic greenhouse gases and synthetic breakdown particles from leaching into regional soil and waterways.
