CARE Web Page Has Info on California Carpet Law

Dalton, GA, Feb. 14, 2011 -- The Carpet America Recovery Effort has launched a web page dedicated to information about the California Carpet Recycling Law.

The page compiles information, links, and resources related to California's AB 2398 Carpet Stewardship legislation.

The intent of the legislation is to increase the diversion and recycling of carpet in the state of California.

CARE has been designated as the Carpet Stewardship Organization under the law.

Carpet manufacturers may participate in the stewardship plan being developed by CARE or a manufacturer may submit its own plan.

"The law requires CARE to educate everyone in the value chain - carpet manufacturers, importers, distributors, commercial dealers, retailers, consumers, and carpet recyclers - and the AB 2398 web page is an important step towards accomplishing that goal," said CARE Executive Director Georgina Sikorski.
