RECYCLED CARPET (Cont'd)
Keep in mind the following when deciding on a new carpet: recycling your old carpet so that it does not end up in the landfill, using carpet tiles rather than rolls to aid in spot replacement and longer life, deciding on the type of fiber (nylon, polyester PET, wool) and the recycled content and recyclability of the face fiber, backing, and cushion, the density and durability of the fiber for heavy traffic use, and how color and pattern contributes to wear. Some people prefer the appearance and durability of nylon over polyester, others will state that recycled polyester (PET plastic) is more durable and naturally stain resistant.
