EPD: Carpet tile for commercial buildings, 9.65 mm, 3.37 kg/m2, EcoLogix (Patcraft)

EcoLogix® Carpet Tile is made with Shaw’s EcoSolution Q100® face fiber. Carpet tile is produced in several stages beginning with fiber polymerization and extrusion. EcoSolution Q100® nylon-6 fiber, containing 100% pre-consumer recycled content, is produced internally at Shaw, then turned into yarn through a variety of processes depending on the desired look of the finished product. The yarn is tufted into the primary backing layer, after which a performance precoat is applied to ensure maximum tuft bind. A first layer of the EcoWorx® thermoplastic polyolefin compound is then applied, followed by the application of a fiberglass reinforcement layer for unmatched stability. A final layer of EcoWorx® backing is then added for stability
