The Mohawk Group introduces its new generation of 100 percent non-PVC thermoplastic contract modular carpeting. The patent-pending Encycle modular carpet backing system is designed with three thermoplastic layers and zero water-based components, enabling it to be completely recycled back into new Encycle backing through thermal re-activation without separating face fibers from backing layers.

Impervious to moisture, the new backing system incorporates 35 percent pre-consumer recycled content by total product weight. The flooring solution also incorporates 28 percent less virgin raw materials than the previous generation of PVC modular carpet. Recommended adhesives meet VOC emissions standards. Encycle is backed by a non-prorated lifetime warranty against all forms of backing failure. Under its ReCover program, when Encycle products reach the end of their useful life, Mohawk will reclaim and recycle the carpet back into new Encycle products.
