Besix entrusts Composil with the removal and management of 17,800m² of used carpet from the former BNP Paribas Fortis offices

In brief :

14.596m²

saved from incineration and sent to the facilities of our recycling partner
Tarkett Restart

3.200m²

carpet refurbished and added to our reuse catalog for reintroduction
to the market

178 Tonnes CO₂

environmental savings achieved through the recovery of carpet and its diversion from incineration

To prevent carpet incineration, Besix and Composil join forces...

For the renovation project of the former BNP Paribas Fortis offices in Brussels, BESIX has commissioned Composil for the removal and recovery of all the carpet in the building.

By collaborating with local and made-in-Brussels partners, the project went smoothly and demonstrates, once again, the high capacity for carpet recovery in real estate renovation projects.

The challenge for Composil was to recover a bit less than 18,000 m² of carpet, maximizing their reuse as much as possible.

Mission accomplished! Indeed, a total of 14,596m² could be sent to our recycling partner Tarkett Restart for recycling, while 3,200m² could be reconditioned and added to Composil's reuse catalog.
