EcoWorx Carpet Tile Recycling Process
  1. Initial Product: EcoWorx carpet tiles are 100% recyclable, made from thermoplastic polyolefin compound.
  2. Shredding: Returned tiles are processed and shredded into a mix of fiber and backing.
  3. Pellet Production: The shredded material is extruded into pellets for new tile backing.

Light Reflectance Values (LRV)
LRV measures how much light a surface reflects or absorbs, crucial for optimizing interior lighting and color contrast. Designers use L* values for lighting levels and LRV (Y) for comparing carpet tile colors with other surfaces.

Conclusion
The document highlights the importance of understanding natural dyes and their applications in sustainable textile production, as well as the significance of recycling processes and LRV in design.
