The carpet recycling stream

“When I see trash, I see treasure” Giulio Bonazzi’s quote

We constantly look for new Nylon 6 waste sources. For this reason, in 2018 we opened the first industrial plant for recycling old carpets otherwise destined for landfills in the United States.

Thanks to groundbreaking systems and equipment, the Aquafil Carpet Recycling plant processes more than 30 thousand tons of carpets per year. The treatment allows to separate and send for recovery of all the different components. The recovered Nylon 6 is destined to become new ECONYL® yarn while the rest of the components enter different industrial sectors, such as the molding industry.
