Pioneering Change: MICE Carpet Recycling SG Takes Root in Singapore

In the bustling world of Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE), where trends evolve rapidly and innovations shape experiences, EXPOflor by The Mill International, is making waves by embracing sustainability in an unexpected arena – carpet recycling in Singapore.

Each year witnesses the production, use, and disposal of over 120 million square meters of exhibition carpet, often destined for mere hours of use. Enter EXPOflor Rewind, the revolutionary exhibition carpet that is transforming the industry. Crafted with a commitment to sustainability, Rewind boasts a 55% reduction in CO2 emissions, is latex-free, reusable, and 100% recyclable, holding the prestigious Cradle to Cradle Silver certification.

In stark contrast to conventional carpets produced with latex, which generate an average of 734g of CO2 per square meter, Expoflor Rewind stands out. Emitting a mere 330g of CO2 for every 1,000 square meters of use, it equates to saving 440kg of CO2 – equivalent to a goods van traveling 1,700km.

The sustainability journey doesn’t end with use. EXPOflor is committed to responsible disposal. MICE carpet recycling begins right here in Singapore, diverting carpets from landfills. Collected from event sites, carpets undergo a meticulous process – clearing off adhesive tapes and rubbish – before being shredded and melted. The resulting polypropylene pellets are then upcycled into useful items like chairs for MICE, reducing waste and closing the sustainability loop.

Pioneering the MICE carpet recycling movement in Singapore, Rewind has found a trusted partner in The Mill International, serving as the preferred distributor in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Together, they are not only reshaping the exhibition carpet landscape but also leading the charge in reducing both CO2 emissions and waste.
