Carpets – flame retardant and yet recyclable
The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF) and the Institut für Bodensysteme (TFI) have collaborated to develop a concept aimed at enhancing the recyclability of flame-retardant carpets widely used in commercial buildings. The challenge lies in the intricate composition of these carpets, consisting of several interconnected layers, often featuring flame retardants which are ecologically problematic.
