Construction on the world鈥檚 first commercial plant for recycling nylon
carpets will start in a few weeks鈥� time. Sited in Augusta, Georgia, the plant
will turn 90 000 metric tonnes of waste carpet each year into caprolactam, a
monomer that can be reconverted into nylon. 鈥淎s far as we know, it will be the
first carpet recycling plant in the world,鈥� says a spokesman for Augusta-based
DSM Chemicals, which developed the process with AlliedSignal of Morristown, New
Jersey.
