Greenback accepts mixed carpet and underlay waste from Household Recycling Centres. Each
piece is inspected to remove contaminants before being sorted by the fibre type of its
pile and backing using near infra-red spectroscopy.
As standard, various fibre streams are baled and supplied as feedstock material onto
either the international plastics recycling market or the horticultural market.
Increasingly Greenback is tailoring its products to the individual needs of large end
users. If you are a UK manufacturer whose process can be developed to use these
materials, please contact us.
