Tips - Uses for old carpet

Carpets have a huge environmental impact so make yours last as long as possible. Even when they are no longer suitable for the floor, there are a number of ways to re-use small pieces. Line bottoms of cupboards, boot of the car, pet's baskets, or use as doormats or for lagging pipes. Small pieces are also great to put underneath plant pots on windowsills or shelves, so they don't damage the surface.
