AB 2398: Cradle to cradle, carpet to carpet

With the support of recyclers, carpet manufacturers, local governments, and environmental groups, the Governor signed legislation that requires carpet manufacturers to prepare a carpet stewardship plan to meet certain recycling targets. AB 2398 (J. Pérez) creates increased demand for recycled carpet products in California by increasing the state's recycled content requirement for carpet bought by the state and, over time, will increase the percentage rate at which discarded carpet is recycled, up to 50% by 2022.
