Improving Carpet Recycling Through Eco-Design

Imagine an innovative carpet, created to be fully recyclable at the end of its life, because its design allows it to be easily disassembled in all its component parts. This is exactly what we have been working on, in collaboration with customers and suppliers of materials for textile flooring products.

As part of our eco-design activities, we also take part in the European Circular Sustainable Floor Covering (CISUFLO) project, financed by the EU Commission within the scope of the Horizon 2020 program.

Aquafil is involved as a producer and recycler of Polyamide 6: more specifically, our role is to test the recyclability of textile flooring developed with the new eco-design parameters, on a pre-industrial scale.
