Carpet waste comes from carpet production (offcuts, edge trims, rejects), from installers and from removed old carpets. Buyers include fibre and polymer recyclers, producers of insulation and nonwovens, and some cement plants that use it as fuel.
The price depends on the fibre (nylon/polyamide and polypropylene carpets are most in demand), the backing, whether the material is clean and dry, and whether it is production waste or used carpet. Clean production offcuts of one fibre sell far better than mixed, used carpet with adhesive or dirt.
Before you offer it:
- separate by fibre type and keep production waste apart from used carpet;
- keep it dry, rolled or baled, and free of underlay and debris;
- know the composition and the volume per month.
On ReWasteHub, post a Sale listing in Textile & Leather → Technical Textile (or Other) and give the fibre, backing, volume and location, with photos. Recyclers and buyers contact you directly, and the deal is agreed between your companies.
