Last week, our CEO Abby Reinhard participated in the Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) Conference and Board Meeting in Chattanooga, TN — an important forum for advancing progress in carpet recycling and circularity.
A standout session was the “Design for Circularity” panel, which highlighted how manufacturers and designers are increasingly aligned around extending product life, improving recyclability, and building systems that can scale.
As New York prepares to mandate carpet recycling beginning in 2027, these conversations are more important than ever. It’s encouraging to see the industry moving in the right direction and coming together around practical solutions.
We’re proud to have Abby helping to move these efforts forward as a board member of CARE. She’s the only flooring contractor on this national board, representing an important voice in the dialogue about carpet recycling.
The annual conference was a strong reminder that momentum is building, and that real progress happens when the industry works together.
