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.
