Living Lab Carpet

Living Lab Carpet: rethinking end-of-life solutions together

Sustainability remains a key theme at Flanders Flooring Days. During the 2026 edition, the event will also host the closing event of Living Lab Carpet, an initiative that brings together the entire carpet value chain to address the challenge of carpets at the end of their life cycle. Over the past years, partners within the Living Lab have explored concrete ways to extend the lifespan of carpets. The focus lies on repair, reuse and remanufacturing as alternatives to waste. During the closing event, visitors will discover practical solutions and innovative approaches that are already applicable in the sector today. Through interactive discussions and a Q&A session with the partners involved, professionals will exchange insights and jointly explore the next steps towards a more circular flooring industry.

Living Lab Carpet is supported by VLAIO and Vlaanderen Circulair (Flanders Circular).
