Committee:: PRI/60 - Resilient, textile, laminate and modular mechanical locked floor coverings
Categories:: Information management | Standardization. General rules | Manufacturing | Textile and leather technology | Textile industry products | Textile floor coverings

Scope

This European norm defines the content of recycled materials (inorganic and organic) in textile floor coverings (broadloom and tiles) as described in EN 1307.

Purpose

The use of recyclates will increase in the coming years, and is already used as a specification criteria for textile floorcoverings in specific market segments, either by private stakeholders (Green Building Certification Schemes) or public procurement. Today no precise definition of the term “recycled content” is available, and how to separate between inorganic and organic recycled content in the final product is not defined. Furthermore a clear distinction between reused/recycled internal production waste and external recylates used as input streams for the production is missing.
