Carpet recycling involves processing used or discarded carpets to recover valuable materials for reuse, thereby reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact. The process typically separates carpet fibers—such as nylon, polypropylene, or polyester—from backing materials like latex or polyurethane. Recycled fibers can be repurposed into new carpeting, insulation, padding, or other textile products, while backing materials may be processed for energy recovery or alternative uses. By diverting carpets from landfills, recycling conserves resources, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and promotes sustainable practices in the flooring industry.
