A CRI Green Label Plus certified-product, Encycle incorporates 35 percent pre-consumer recycled content. It is the industry's only carpet tile backing system that is made of 100 percent thermoplastic and contains zero water-based components. This unique composition ensures that Notion can be completely recycled back into itself without needing to separate the face fibers from the backing.
Enhancing its resilient performance and supporting a long lifecycle, Notion features the company's Duracolor stain-resistant dye technology. Duracolor is integrated into the carpet fiber -- rather than applied topically -- providing permanent stain and fade resistance, while also improving indoor air quality by eliminating the need for chemicals and harsh detergents during the cleaning process.
The durability of Notion products ensures that the carpet stays in use and out of the recycling stream longer. Yet when it reaches the end of its useful life, the carpet tiles can be reclaimed and recycled through the company's ReCover program. Notion is produced in an ISO 14001-certified manufacturing facility in Glasgow, Va., ensuring adherence to the highest environmental standards.
