How recyclable carpets could transform the flooring industry
Most carpets still end up in landfill or incineration, locked out of the circular economy. In Europe, an estimated 1.6 million tonnes of carpet waste reach the end of their lives every year. According to data from Deutsche Umwelthilfe from 2017, the vast majority of it, nearly 98%, is either incinerated or sent to landfill. While the use of polyester has improved recycling rates, this improvement remains in the low single-digit percentage range. Germany alone contributes around 400,000 tonnes to this waste stream annually.
