Installing recycled carpets to reduce our carbon footprint

At Steeldeck, we are committed to working towards minimising the environmental impact of our hire services and operations as we strive to become fully carbon neutral by 2030.

In line with our Environmental Policy, one of our initiatives is to encourage recycling within our depots and installations. In 2023, Steeldeck helped to recycle 2,180 sqm of carpets – that’s nearly a third of a football pitch!

We are delighted to have recently collaborated with carpet specialists MJ’s Event Services. MJ’s are committed to reducing waste and recycling a minimum of 95% of the material they supply. The carpets that we install are rolled up at the derig and stored at our depot, ready for MJ’s to take away to recycle whilst delivering new carpet for our next project. Clients we work with often ask if we can reuse the carpet, and we are pleased to provide MJ’s details as a preferred supplier.
