When your worn out mats reach the end of their life—whether rubber, PVC, foam, or polypropylene—it’s tempting to simply throw them away. But consciousness about environmental impact is rising, and there are responsible, sustainable alternatives. This in-depth guide explores how to dispose of old mats correctly, prioritize reuse, and contribute to a healthier planet.
Why Proper Disposal of Worn Out Mats Matters
Discarded mats often end up in landfills where they resist degradation and may release harmful microplastics or chemicals—just like tyres and other rubber waste contribute to soil and water pollution. Proper disposal can significantly reduce this impact and help foster a circular economy.
