To calculate the Carpet Waste:
\[ W = \frac{A \cdot P}{100} \]
Where:
Carpet waste refers to the leftover material or discarded items from the production, installation, and removal of carpets. This includes offcuts, underlay, and old carpets that have been removed from homes or commercial properties. Carpet waste is a significant environmental issue as it often ends up in landfills and is not easily biodegradable. It can also release harmful chemicals when incinerated. Recycling or repurposing carpet waste is a more sustainable option, but it can be a complex and costly process.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ W = \frac{500 \cdot 10}{100} = 50 \text{ square feet} \]
The Carpet Waste is 50 square feet.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ W = \frac{300 \cdot 15}{100} = 45 \text{ square feet} \]
The Carpet Waste is 45 square feet.
