Partnership Toward Zero Waste
Tarkett
Globally, Tarkett has set a goal that its products will consist of 30 percent recycled content by 2030, and its ReStart® take-back program is its core strategy for achieving this goal. Since the program’s inception, ReStart has diverted flooring waste equivalent to 12 Eiffel Towers from landfills. In 2023 alone, 1.5 million pounds of post-use flooring were recycled in North America. Now, through an exclusive partnership with Mycocycle—a biotech start-up leveraging the power of mycelia to break down waste—Tarkett is pioneering a unique recycling approach. While Tarkett’s goal remains to recycle old flooring into new flooring whenever possible, the Mycocycle technology will provide a diversion option for materials that are traditionally hard to recycle. Tarkett will also explore the resulting by-product as a central ingredient in new flooring products.
