CARE has passed the one billion pound milestone for gross collection of old carpet in California since the start of the California Carpet Stewardship Program in 2011.
CARE has announced winners of the Person and Recycler of the Year Awards for both 2019 and 2020 in conjunction with the organization’s 19th Annual Conference.
California retailers can apply for CARE grants to purchase equipment that would enable transporting post-consumer carpet (PCC) to recycling facilities and PCC drop-off locations.
While California's overall materials recycling rate has been on the decline since 2014, the California carpet recycling rate is up 58% in the same period.
We have an opportunity to sit down with Bob Peoples, to talk not only about the group's progress last year, but also how the COVID-19 lockdown impacted CARE's collection and activities this year.
In 2019 CARE administered a $35 million operational budget, comprising core operations to serve its members, along with the Voluntary Product Stewardship Program and the California Carpet Stewardship Program.
