TEXTIFLOOR: an approach based on the product service system

The model which Textifloor has developed is close to product service system and circular economy. It is an integrated and global solution of flooring management: delivery, laying, maintenance and recyling with the possibility of having equipment for floor vacuuming and cleaning. 

• Textifloor is partly into the product service system:

- The offer provided is completely consistent with customer's expectations thanks to the product expertise of the founders (adapting the offer depending on the use: to obtain the same result, products are not necessarily the same) 

- the product is not sold but its use is leased, a real proximity relationship with the customers is created, and a long-term one as the length of  leases proposed ranges from 3 to 6 years.

- carpet is not solely flooring, it also has effect in terms of noise in the room and on health as well (use performance)

• Textifloor's approach is based on a dynamics of colloboration and circularity:

- Eco-conception approach from the creation of the product thanks to its partnership with Interface (world leader of textile slabs manufacturing)

- During the whole contract and at the products' end of life, slabs are changed, recovered, and stored in order to be used again (depending on their condition)

- Products at end of life are being recovered through recycling (as raw material for new carpets, as as alternative combustible material) or donations to associations

• Textifloor's offer enables an optimised use of carpet, while floors are usually completely changed when 15% of the surface is deteriorated, here only the deteriorated parts are being changed.
