Carpet to be recycled is chopped into pieces
The pieces are placed in a bio-based dissolving solution
After soaking the solution, the backing is separated from the face fiber
Dehydrated dissolving solution is recovered for reuse
Recovered backing polymer is separated out
Recovered polymer is ground into pellets that can be made into new backing
Ecoworx backing for broadloom carpet was engineered as a cradle-to-cradle product, which can be reclaimed at the end of the product's life cycle, broken down into its component pieces, and completely recycled into new commercial-grade carpet.
