In the context of CISUFLO a fully circular carpet on PA6 basis could be manufactured. It fullfills all requirements and is fully recyclable to new raw materials for carpets. Also the concept of separating the layers after use for a wide range of applications could be proven. These concepts also work for carpet tiles without any limitations for use or life span. The novel concepts result in a significant reduction of the Global warming potential (GWP) and are a important starting point for the “green transition” of the industry.
