DeSitter Flooring is committed to a sustainability of the flooring industry and is a voluntary participant in the

CLEAR Carpet Recycling program, a landfill-diversion effort.

When you see the CLEAR logo, you know that your discarded carpet and pad are being recycled responsibly for the good of the planet.

Recycling carpet and pad as a way of promoting sustainability is more than just a feel-good environmental goal. To be practical, it also must be financially sustainable. Landfill charges continue to rise as a direct result of increased environmental concern.
 
By diverting used carpet and pad from landfills, CLEAR Carpet Recycling helps make for a much “GREENER AND SAFER” environment.

Also as landfill fees increase and stewardship programs are put in place, the savings attained by recycling carpet and pad become even more attractive.

CLEAR Carpet Recyclers views residential carpet and pad as valuable natural resources. Therefore, while reducing waste, we are contributing to “greater savings for our customers and maintaining sustainability for the flooring industry.”
