ECRA is delighted to be joining up and working with Carpet Recycling UK (CRUK). CRUK is an international membership association promoting the diversion from landfill of textile flooring in the UK to resource for circularity and sustainable use. They do this by working with businesses in the supply chain, recycling companies, government and academia to foster collaborations and networks to achieve viable market-based solutions and encouraging design for recyclability. Like ECRA, they encourage the exchange of knowledge, ideas and experience between their members and network. Joining with CRUK will enable us to help our and their members to develop a coherent industry standard approach to transition into a circular economy.
