A Better End for Flooring.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the life of the product. Above Left offers a carpet tile take-back program, helping clients create a more responsible pathway for flooring at the end of its useful life.
A simple five-step process.
Above Left helps connect your project team with the right independent recovery partner so materials can be assessed, collected and directed toward the most suitable recovery pathway.
Contact Above Left
Email info@aboveleft.com.au with the site location, approximate quantity of carpet tile and anticipated removal timing.
We Connect You
Above Left helps liaise between your project team and the most appropriate independent recovery provider for the material, location and project requirements.
Collection Is Arranged
The appointed recovery provider coordinates access, collection timing and material preparation directly with the relevant site team.
Tiles Leave Site
Eligible carpet tiles can be collected separately rather than automatically entering the project's general construction waste stream.
Materials Find Their Next Path
Collected flooring is assessed for reuse, recycling, repurposing or another suitable recovery pathway.
Not waste. A resource.
The traditional flooring lifecycle is linear. Our take-back approach creates an opportunity to keep useful materials in circulation for longer.
Where can the material go next?
The final pathway depends on the condition, construction, location and suitability of the recovered material.
Reuse
Suitable carpet tiles may be directed toward opportunities that extend their useful life.
Recycle
Recoverable material may be processed so components can return to productive use.
Repurpose
Materials may be redirected into new products, applications or alternative purposes.
Recover
Where direct reuse or recycling is not suitable, alternative recovery pathways may be assessed.
Connecting projects with the right recovery pathway.
Above Left helps facilitate introductions between clients, contractors, project teams and independent resource recovery organisations. The appropriate provider will depend on the material, project location and recovery requirements.
Revert Group
Revert Group provides specialist resource recovery services for commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects. For eligible carpet tile take-back projects, Above Left can help connect the client, contractor or project team with Revert to assess the material and coordinate an appropriate collection and recovery pathway.
ResourceCo
ResourceCo is an Australian resource recovery and remanufacturing business providing recycling and recovery solutions across construction, commercial and industrial waste streams.
Where appropriate to the material and project requirements, Above Left can help explore independent recovery pathways beyond carpet tile take-back and connect project teams with suitable providers.
Designing with the end in mind.
Circularity starts long before a floor reaches the end of its life. Considering recovery at the specification stage can help create more responsible material decisions across the lifetime of a project.
Above Left can help clients consider flooring from initial specification through installation, use and eventual removal.
Sustainability is not only about what a product is made from. It is also about what happens next.
