Carpet Recycling

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
Did you know that if your old carpet is made of Nylon 6, it can be recycled? Over two hundred million pounds of old carpet is saved from landfills every year through the recycling of Nylon 6. Through a process of depolymerization and purification, Nylon 6 can be reharvested and reused in new carpet, with no loss of quality whatsoever.
