AURORA, COLO.—ReSource Commercial Flooring Network members diverted more than 7 million pounds of carpet waste from landfills in 2010, bringing the network’s total to more than 15.5 million pounds since the organization began reporting its efforts in 2008.

Through Ecollect, the network’s members promote sustainable business practices throughout their locations, taking a holistic approach to the environment and its goal of sustainability, said Kris Keller, director of marketing and communications. Methods to reduce and eliminate waste and other non-value added processes that impact the environment are considered throughout all projects.

ReSource members seek the best options for diverting carpet waste from landfills, including recycling, reuse, donation and waste to energy, Keller said. “Every project has special requirements and recycling is just another area of expertise provided by local ReSource network members.”
