About six years ago, the hospitals began an initiative to implement more recycling throughout the facilities. This can be a daunting assignment when you are in charge of enough carpet to cover nine football fields. But by using DuPont Flooring Systems, Wallschlaeger and Abel have been able to include reclamation as part of project specifications. The DuPont Reclamation Specification calls for all used commercial carpets removed by DuPont Flooring Systems to be collected and shipped to the DuPont Processing Center, where the carpet is sorted and evaluated for recycling value and may be processed into raw materials for automobile parts, sod reinforcements and wood-like products. Plus it is less waste going into our Dumpsters that we have to pay to get rid of.
Patients rely on a hospital to meet their needs.
