BASF announced the expansion of its recycling program to include Zeftron 200 nylon upholstery yarns, thus making it possible to recycle old nylon upholstery fabric back into virgin grade nylon.
"Like BASF's branded nylon carpet products, Zeftron 200 solution-dyed nylon is made from nylon 6 so it can be recovered after use and recycled back into nylon using our patented, closed loop technology," explained Tim Blount, manager, Marketing Programs. "Upholstery fabrics made with Zeftron 200 nylon will be recycled in a similar manner as carpets returned through the 6ix Again program, now in its eighth year of evolution. The nylon fiber will be recovered and then recycled back into virgin quality nylon 6 polymer at BASF's depolymerization plant in Arnprior, Canada."Latest from Recycling Today
