March 30, 2007—Bentley Prince Street has taken another step in its Mission Zero sustainability commitment through a partnership with the Asset Network for Education Worldwide (ANEW) Foundation, a charitable organization that collects and repurposes surplus furniture, fixtures and equipment for groups in need.
The company’s goal is to create a program that unites environmental sustainability with social responsibility — keeping carpet out of landfills while, at the same time, helping community learning programs who can benefit from repurposed carpet.
Through this partnership, Bentley Prince Street works with ANEW to identify and assess surplus carpet, then determined whether it can be used in settings such as nonprofits, community centers, learning programs and public agencies. If not, Bentley Prince Street will ensure the carpet is recycled through its ReEntry program.
Based in Los Angeles County, California, Bentley Prince Street is a leading manufacturer of commercial carpet for corporate, healthcare, hospitality, institutional, residential and retail interiors. For more information, see the Web site.
