GBlist: continuous product ownership



Interface Flooring and Collins Aikman are starting to formally lease, or 
at least take back, their products from consumers. The goal is to reuse 
or recycle them back into carpets.  Unfortunately, the economics of 
recovering the nylon, now mean that most recovered carpets become auto 
parts.  DO YOU HAVE EXAMPLES OF OTHER COMPANIES THAT TAKE BACK THEIR OWN 
PRODUCTS FOR LATER REUSE/RECYCLING? Thanks for any suggestions.
