Universal Fibers®, Bristol,Va., has partnered with England-based Circular Building Solutions to advance circular flooring systems. The collaboration combines Universal Fibers’ sustainable carpet yarns, including its Thrive® matter recycled nylon, with Circular Building Solutions’ adhesive-free, reversible fixing systems. These systems allow floor coverings to be securely installed and later lifted for reuse or recycling, supporting material circularity and reducing waste.
Ian Spreadborough, co-founder of Circular Building Solutions, said: “A truly circular flooring solution must consider the total flooring assembly, from the sub-floor to the fixing mechanism to the individual materials within a floor covering such as the backing and yarn. We are proud to collaborate with Universal Fibers to promote how a holistic approach to flooring can deliver meaningful sustainability gains.”
