Circularity

Closed-loop carpet tile recycling reaches a reported 67.78 million m²: what to ask next

REFINVERSE reports a cumulative recycling milestone through 2025. For buyers, the useful lesson is to validate collection geography, accepted materials and the documented route—not to repeat a circularity label.

Why this matters for a project

Refits create a real end-of-use decision. A credible circularity discussion needs the collection location, material acceptance rules, contamination limits, logistics owner, processing destination and the evidence supplied after collection.

What to check before acting

Request a written local take-back route for the specific project: who collects, which tiles/backings are accepted, how material is separated, what proof is issued, and what happens if the route is unavailable. Record the route before demolition, not after.
