Green is the new black.
Green initiatives are the new norm in commercial design and construction. A short time ago, recycled content was new to the commercial marketplace. It was greeted as a revolution. A step toward a more sustainable world. Today we recognize that there is even more to be done. Recyclability – true recyclability – has joined recycled content as the key to a green marketplace.
Zeftron nylon holds that key.
Look for the Enviro6ix Tag. It signifies an innovative, sustainable future for commercial nylon fiber systems. A minimum of 25% recycled content and 100% recyclability.
Two Sides to Every Story: Zeftron Enviro6ix Nylon
Side One: Recycled Content
Zeftron Enviro6ix designated nylon contains no less than 25% post-consumer recycled content, a significant percentage that makes for a great start to sustainability in the commercial carpet marketplace. But, recycled content is only one side of the story.
Side Two: 100% True Recyclability
Zeftron nylon will be made into carpet destined for the commercial interiors marketplace. It will have a long wear life, look great, work hard and last long. But eventually someone will no longer want it.
Where it goes next is of utmost performance.
Through Zeftron nylon's 6ix Again program, all types of used commercial carpet can be delivered to a network of collection centers across the U.S. After being sorted by the 6ix Again collection centers, each piece of waste carpet is put on a separate path – some will remain in the 6ix Again program to be recycled into new nylon 6 carpet yarn, while others that do not qualify to remain in the 6ix Again program will be repurposed into lower value nylon products or sent to waste to energy facilities.
THIS IS THE ONLY DEFINITION OF CLOSED-LOOP RECYCLING OF TRUE RECYCLABILITY—AND IT'S ZEFTRON NYLON.
