Uncle Mats believes in the cause and has partnered with M+A Matting, dedicated to environmental stewardship, and strives to create a culture of conservation as a manufacturer and global supplier. We have funded and will continue to fund the research and development (R&D) of matting designed to keep facilities safe, clean, and comfortable.
As a leading manufacturer of matting, M+A has established R&D priorities intended to create sustainable products made from recycled materials whenever possible and continually evaluates operational procedures looking for opportunities to implement practices that conserve resources and minimize waste.
Reuse • Reduce • Recycle
We recycle nearly 1 million pounds of yarn and other synthetic materials, and approximately 200,000 pounds of paper and cardboard each year.
Mountville Rubber, M+A Matting’s sister company, and rubber supplier, recycles approximately 1.25 million pounds of rubber annually.
Conservation Through Innovation
Our SBR rubber compound contains 20% recycled rubber from car tires.
Several of our mats are made with PET (polyethylene terephthalate), a synthetic fiber made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
Our 23-ounce PET yarn has been developed to contain 100% recycled content
Our 30-ounce PET fiber contains 100% recycled content; In 2018, M+A transformed more than 298 million plastic bottles (that might have otherwise ended up in a landfill or ocean) into WaterHog Eco mats.
In 2018-19, we transitioned our 24-ounce polypropylene to a 24-ounce PET fiber with 100% recycled content. Both the original WaterHog line of mats and the WaterHog Eco line of mats are now made with 100% recycled PET.
