DPM's SPECS Care is a proven system designed to meet the owner's life expectancy, appearance maintenance, green initiatives and air quality expectations. SPECS Care is a proprietary cleaning technology that is Green Seal certified and recognized by Fortune 500 companies for its results and ability to extend the life of carpet 15+ years. Before you replace carpet call DPM for a cleaning demonstration. In most cases, SPECS Care will extend carpet scheduled for replacement by 2 to 7 years. Reuse is always the least costly and environmental right approach. If you have a larger facility with carpet tile on the floor, DPM's Corporate Reuse program is perfect for you. DPM's Corporate Reuse program takes existing carpet tile from your facility and grades out worn carpet for recycling. The remaining carpet is sanitized ( link to sanitizing information ) and refurbished using a highly, automated process that leaves the remaining material with little to no wear. Refurbished material is sent back for reuse where carpet can be used for up to an additional 15 + years. For more information on this industry first program please call your local DPM Associate or click here. Over 4 billion pounds of carpet goes to the landfill each year. DPM is committed through our OPT 3 Carpet Tile Recycling program to divert carpet for alternative uses. OPT 3 takes the material received and grades it where it goes back into the X2 reuse carpet tile program, Corporate Reuse, or become components for fiber and backing systems. As a last resort, some chemistries that are not recyclable are used as alternative fuels that burn cleaner than coal and work to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
