Bentley Prince Street has taken another step in its Mission Zero™
sustainability commitment through a unique partnership with the
Asset Network for Education Worldwide (ANEW) Foundation,
a charitable organization that collects and repurposes surplus
furniture, fixtures and equipment for the underserved in our local
communities. Together our goal is to create a program that unites
environmental sustainability with social responsibility — keeping
carpet out of our overflowing landfills while, at the same time,
helping community learning programs who can benefit from
repurposed carpet.
Bentley Prince Street works with ANEW to identify and assess
surplus carpet — carpet that for one reason or another
companies want to replace. Our team determines whether
the life of the carpet can be extended by repurposing it in
other settings, such as non-profits, community centers,
learning programs and public agencies. If not, Bentley Prince
Street will ensure the carpet is recycled through our ReEntry®
program.
Our Goal
Our ultimate goal is to divert all carpet products from our
landfills, and this partnership touches virtually every aspect
of our holistic sustainability philosophy: environmental, social
and economic through the following:
- Providing an alternative to dumping surplus carpet
in our landfills.
- Assisting learning programs that our vital to local
communities.
- Driving the marketplace toward more environmentally
and socially conscious practices.
