Improving Carpet Recycling Through Eco-Design

Imagine an innovative carpet, designed to be disassembled and recycled at the end of its life. Aquafil has been working with our customers and suppliers to educate manufacturers on the importance of designing carpets that can be recycled.

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.
