Recycled Carpet
Leigh Fibers has established a dedicated business unit to divert discarded carpet and plastic from landfills and turn it into fibers and densified products... Read More »
Discarded carpeting accounts for some 6% of all landfill content, and carpet reprocessing (post-consumer and post-industrial) is a growing focus for Leigh. Our process includes agglomeration and machining into fibers for garneting. This produces a substantial volume of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 that can then be used in the manufacture of other products, as well as polypropylene and polyester.
