Innovate Recycle

Innovate Recycle is transforming the way in which the UK utilizes post-consumer and industrial carpet waste.

As part of the green revolution, Innovate Recycle is at the forefront of a bespoke recycling technology that enables deconstruction of end-of-life carpets, recapturing the component materials, in particular polypropylene plastic, that can be utilized across a wide range of industries and applications.

Innovate Recycle are creating a solution to this environmental problem with the intention of eradicating carpet being sent to landfill. Innovate Recycle are using proven technology from the US and EU countries to create the first plant at Chelveston Energy Park, which will enable the business to support, enable and advise carpet manufacturers on how to create a more sustainable material benefiting their business. The process IR has created at the UK-based site will omit zero emissions and utilise a completely chemical free process, thus creating an environmental solution for the carpet industry.

This resource will enable the forward sale of the repurposed material and will have a recycling system that in one singular process line is able to convert 6,637 tonnes pa of waste carpet per 8 hour shift. Not only is the process sustainable, and economically sound our chosen location also supports our ethos, and business strategy. Chelveston Energy Park in Northamptonshire uses Green energy, wind solar and hydrogen, which will power the plant. We are part of the recycling revolution, creating sustainable material and preventing further waste carpet entering our ecosystems.
