Did you know that …
of all textiles worldwide are recycled into new textiles?
tons of carpet are disposed of in the EU every year, mostly on landfills and in incinerators?
of plastic waste will be recycled for use in new products by 2025, as committed by the carpet industry?
The future is circular.
It’s an exciting time for organizations that are stepping up to build a sustainable future. Worldwide, the idea of the circular economy is gaining traction. Manufacturers today are embracing the concept of eco-design to develop products that just last longer. Products no longer need to end up as waste, but they can be repurposed into something new.
However, eco-design alone is not enough.
By re-evaluating our business models and value chains we can also implement circularity in our interaction with customers and suppliers.
Let’s take on this challenge today to be ahead tomorrow.
What is circular yarn manufacturing?
The yarn is the core material for carpets. Carpet manufacturers in search of sustainable yarns have several circularity options:
-
Yarn produced with renewable sources
yarns that save on fossil resources by using renewable energy sources in the value chain
-
Recycled content yarn
products that contain more recycled or reclaimed content, collected either from the production process or from external streams
-
Low-impact PA6 carpet yarn
PA6 carpet yarn with a lower CO2 footprint, based on the most recent innovations in polymer production
