Why it matters for carpet tile buyers
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
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.
A project example
If a project wants a take-back route for used carpet tiles, ask the programme for accepted materials, collection locations, minimum volumes, transport responsibilities and the recorded destination. Put those answers next to the selected product's own material information.
Next step
Keep end-of-use questions in the specification and obtain a project-specific written route before making a circularity statement.
