Creating nusilk fibre system

About EcoSylk®

Our team spent almost two years in R&D developing a new sustainable fibre system NuSilk™, featuring EcoSylk® - the world’s first circular, regenerated luxury carpet fibre.

 

EcoSylk® is made entirely from post-consumer carpet waste, doing its part in cleaning up the landfills, one carpet at a time. It is the embodiment of a ‘circular solution’. ensuring that every carpet created not only comes from recycled fibres but are themselves fully recyclable – ensuring no Sylka™ carpet waste ends up in landfill.

The yarn regeneration process separates the three main carpet components: nylon, polypropylene and calcium. The nylon is cleaned and extruded into EcoSylk®, while the polypropylene goes to the automobile industry for injection moulding. Lastly, calcium is used in the building industry to create concrete and plaster, giving every resource a new life and function.

However, our commitment to closing the loop on carpet pollution goes beyond creating a recycled and fully recyclable product. Every carpet we produce can be returned to one of our facilities or a pre-arranged collection place at the end of its lifespan so it can be recycled again and again into new products for clients to love and cherish.
