Problem
The disposal of post-consumer carpets poses a significant environmental challenge, contributing to landfill waste and resource depletion. Traditional disposal methods lack efficient and sustainable solutions for reclaiming valuable materials from discarded carpets.
Solution
Circular Polymers utilizes a proprietary rotary impact separator technology to transform post-consumer discarded carpets into high-quality polymer raw materials. This process efficiently separates shredded carpet into its constituent components: face fiber, backing, and calcium carbonate. The resulting materials, including Nylon 6,6, Nylon 6, PET, and Polypropylene, are then processed into various grades of fiber, densified pellets, and melt-filtered pellets. These recycled polymers, marketed under the Cerene™ brand, offer sustainable alternatives for use in diverse industries such as automotive, furniture, and engineered resins, promoting a circular economy and reducing reliance on virgin materials.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers in the automotive, furniture, and engineered resins industries seeking sustainable and high-quality recycled polymer feedstocks.
