Image Industries Is Major Recycler of PET

Image Industries, Inc., formerly Image Carpets Inc., has become one of the largest recyclers of PET in the U.S. (Image Carpets has been widely promoted as the premier manufacturer of carpets from recycled plastic resin.) Carpet manufacturing may soon be taking a back seat to PET recycling at the company, which ranked 22nd in sales volume among the 112 U.S. carpet manufacturers, according to

Plastics News. Carpets from recycled PET will remain an important part of the business, however, as they provide a captive market for the company’s recycled resin that is contaminated by colored flecks or is otherwise off-spec.
