CarpeTell for Flooring Contractors

Know what you're lifting
before it hits the skip.

Flooring contractors strip out hundreds of tonnes of carpet every year, most of it going to landfill because nobody knows what's in it. CarpeTell identifies fibre composition on-site in under a second, so you can offer your clients verified recycling routes instead.

The Problem

Most stripped carpet goes
to landfill because no-one
knows what it is.

No label, no spec sheet, no idea

By the time a commercial carpet reaches strip-out, the product spec sheet is long gone. Without fibre ID, every roll in the skip is an unknown, and unknowns default to landfill.

Nylon and PP look identical underfoot

Nylon and polypropylene carpets are visually indistinguishable. They go to completely different recycling routes, and mixing them means both streams are contaminated.

Landfill costs are rising, alternatives are hard to access

UK landfill tax is increasing year on year. The alternative, verified recycling, requires knowing what you're sending. Without identification, recyclers can't accept the material.

Clients are asking for sustainability evidence

Commercial clients, particularly those with ESG commitments, increasingly ask where stripped flooring goes and what happens to it. "Skip to landfill" is not the answer they're looking for.

The Solution

CarpeTell on-site —
fibre ID before the roll moves.

NIR identification on the job site

CarpeTell Handheld lets your team scan stripped carpet rolls or off-cuts on-site, identifying nylon, polypropylene, polyester, and wool before the material is loaded out.

Separate by fibre type at point of strip-out

Knowing the fibre type on-site means you can separate loads before they leave the building, keeping nylon separate from PP, and recoverable wool out of the general carpet skip.

Open access to verified recycling channels

Carpet recyclers, nylon reclamation programmes, and repurposing schemes all have fibre specification requirements. CarpeTell scan records are the evidence they need to accept your material.

Client sustainability report, ready to send

Matoha Cloud generates a scan summary per project, fibre types identified, volumes, and confirmed recycling destination. Your clients get the evidence they need for their own ESG reporting.

Why It Matters

Carpet identification unlocks
routes that didn't exist before.

💷

Reduce landfill tax exposure

Diverting stripped carpet from landfill to verified recycling routes reduces your clients' landfill tax liability and can be offered as a tangible benefit in your contract pitch.

🏆

Differentiate in tenders

Commercial tendering increasingly includes sustainability criteria. A contractor who can document where stripped flooring goes, with scan evidence, stands out from one who can't.

🔄

Nylon has value

Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6 from commercial carpet can be chemically recycled back to caprolactam and adipic acid, but only as clean, identified, separated feedstock. CarpeTell makes that identification possible on-site.

FAQ

Common Questions

Why choose a subscription over a one-off purchase? +
A subscription spreads the cost into predictable monthly payments, includes software updates, and can be easier to justify as an operating expense rather than a capital purchase. A one-off purchase gives you full ownership with no ongoing fees. Both options include access to the Matoha app and Cloud dashboard. Compare options →
How long is the contract for subscriptions? +
Subscription terms vary by plan. Please contact us for current contract lengths and flexible options — we can often accommodate rolling monthly or annual arrangements depending on your needs.
What is the cancellation policy? +
One-off purchases come with a 21-day money-back guarantee — if the device doesn't work for your materials, return it for a full refund. For subscription plans, cancellation terms are outlined in your agreement. Get in touch if you have any questions.
How long does delivery take? +
FabriTell, PlasTell and CarpeTell handheld devices ship within approximately 60 days of order. The S-Bench system has a longer lead time due to custom configuration — contact us for current availability. We ship worldwide.
Can I try before I buy? +
Yes — we offer a live demonstration where we scan samples you send in advance, so you can see results on your own materials before committing. All devices also come with a 21-day money-back guarantee. Book a demo →
Do the devices work without an internet connection? +
Yes — all Matoha devices identify materials fully offline. The AI runs on-board, not in the cloud. Wi-Fi is only used for syncing scan data to Matoha Cloud and receiving firmware updates, both of which are optional.
