NORTH CHESTERFIELD, VA, October 10, 2019-
As part of a joint effort with Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE), Verdex Technologies has developed innovative technology that can take recycled PET carpet (and bottles) and turn them into an array of nonwoven products such as apparel, filtration and acoustical products to name a few.
This disruptive technology enables the nonwovens industry & associated businesses alike, to play a vital role in solving the ever-growing problem of landfilling carpet and ocean plastic. Verdex’s patented spinning nozzle technology converts PCC material directly into nano/micro fibers which are blended with larger fibers to form products for filtration, apparel and acoustic damping. Verdex technology is capable of spinning recycled cleaned PET carpet containing polypropylene and calcium carbonate components.
