The Mill International has successfully recycled event floor coverings into resin pellets, which are then moulded into seating options, adding a layer of sustainability to the MICE industry.

In a little over a year, The Mill International has recycled around 65,400 sq m of carpets - and it's just getting started. The company has successfully created new products from recycled event floor covering, turning it into resin pellets which are then moulded into seating options. These resin pellets, produced from recycled carpets, can be made into luggage tags and even chairs.

The Mill International has tapped on prominent gatherings like the Coldplay concert and Singapore Airshow to roll out its sustainable carpets. The company laid down a total of 6,000 sq m of recyclable black carpet for the Coldplay concert at the National Indoor Stadium earlier in 2024. Since July 2023, The Mill International has recycled around 65,400 sq m - or more than 16 tonnes - of carpets. To put things into perspective, this amount could easily cover the area of about 480 five-room Housing Board flats. The company started out by partnering local recyclers such as Plastify and Semula-Asia to try and convert carpets into smaller products.
