The circular economy in the carpet industry reduces waste and optimizes resources. This sustainable cycle includes the purchase, maintenance, reuse, and recycling of carpets. Cleaning services extend their lifespan, while reuse allows for the restoration of used carpets. Our case studies demonstrate CO₂ savings achieved by companies, and used carpets can be recycled into new materials. This approach is crucial for both businesses and the environment.
The concept of circular economy applied to carpets creates a virtuous cycle to reduce waste and optimize resources. Discover how this innovative approach can benefit both your business and the environment.?

Circular Economy and Carpets: How Does It Work?
The circular economy for carpets is based on a simple principle: creating a sustainable cycle for this material. How? By ensuring the reuse or recycling of used carpets, which helps reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with this type of flooring.
The life cycle of carpet is envisioned as a virtuous circle: purchasing and installing the carpet, maintaining it to extend its lifespan, reusing or recycling it based on its condition, and finally, reintroducing it into circulation for a new owner.
Thus, the loop is closed ♻️, reducing waste and optimizing resource use through the circular economy.
Optimization: Extending the Life of Your Carpet
Our team of professionals ensures the maintenance and cleaning of your new carpet, whether it’s new or used. This maintenance is performed by trained experts following a specific methodology to guarantee optimal lifespan for your flooring.
We offer two solutions based on our clients' needs:
-
On-Demand Cleaning: For specific events or urgent needs, such as water damage, we respond quickly with effective methods for the best possible results.
-
Regular Maintenance with the Carpet Caring Program®️: This program offers bi-weekly maintenance, addressing stains before they set in and keeping your carpet looking new. This service, certified by European manufacturers, can also extend your carpet warranty by up to 10 years, thus optimizing its lifespan.
In both cases, we use specialized machines and patented products for deep cleaning with reduced drying time (about 1 hour, compared to a full day with conventional methods), thereby minimizing the environmental impact of carpet maintenance.
Reused Carpet: Giving Carpet a Second Life
Are you planning a construction or renovation project and want to furnish your spaces with carpet without exceeding your budget? We have THE economical and ecological solution for you: reused carpet!

♻️ Customer Case Studies on Carpet Reuse
Discover how our clients transformed their spaces by integrating reused carpets. These case studies illustrate the concrete benefits and tangible results our solutions can offer.
Besix entrusts Composil with the management of 17,800 m² of used carpet from the former offices of BNP Paribas Fortis.
By collaborating with local partners and those made in Brussels, the project was carried out smoothly and demonstrates the high capacity for recycling carpet in real estate renovation projects.
Fairspace transforms a WeWork space with 2,055 m² of reused carpet from the Composil ReUse catalog.
Discover a project that illustrates the effectiveness of reused materials, achieving a reduction of 20.5 tons of CO₂ while proving that sustainability can be economically beneficial.
Recycling: Transforming Used Carpets into New Resources
Carpets that are too worn out become ineligible for the Carpet ReUse Program®️.
👉 As is often the case today, these carpets end up in incinerators. Burning petroleum with petroleum? Is that consistent with the current context? So why not opt for the reclamation of this material?
Our goal was to act in an environmentally responsible manner throughout the product's life cycle while providing our clients with an efficient and economical solution. These overly worn tiles can now complete their first life cycle in our recycling service.
At this stage, we offer our clients the opportunity to recycle their carpets by collecting the waste they intended to dispose of. With our partner, we can transform nearly all of these waste materials (depending on the original composition) into new raw materials for the production of new tiles.
This approach allows us to valorize each material and prevent the annual emission of several tons of CO₂.
- You give your old carpet a second life in a circular economy perspective.
- You benefit from simplified processes without multiple points of contact (we handle everything!).
- You even save money by avoiding rising incineration fees.
By adopting our recycling solution, you actively participate in a circular economy while reducing costs and the environmental impact of your carpet waste.
