The Annual U.S. Green Building Council GreenBuild Show was recently held in Denver and aside from the numerous carpet manufacturers and CRI members that had a presence at the show, the Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) joined forces with NYCORE and LokBlok in an effort to showcase the many strides the carpet industry has made in carpet reclamation and the numerous products containing post- consumer recycled carpet in their products.
The trio shared a large booth at the event and traffic for the three-day event was at an all-time high. Many contacts were made and each of the representatives at the booth came away from the show energized over the success of the show and the prospects that were mined.
NYCORE, headquartered in Atlanta Georgia, was CARE's Recycler of the Year award winner in 2004 and markets building products made primarily out of recycled carpet.
LokBlok has partnered with NYCORE to produce a patented interlocking block that replaces cement and hopes to be commercially available in 2007.
Much of the GreenBuild attendance this year was comprised of builders who flocked to find out about the new product. Some 15,000 attendees were represented at this year's show.
The Carpet and Rug Institute is the trade association for carpets, rugs, and flooring. Carpet and Rug Institute represents manufacturers and suppliers of carpets, rugs, and floor covering.
