If they can make polyester carpets out of pop bottles, why can't the reverse be true. All synthetic carpets are made out some form of plastic.

Aquafil’s reclamation of post-consumer carpet is a first step in the ECONYL® Regeneration System, which creates recycled nylon 6 fibers from post-consumer carpet in a continuous production cycle. Aquafil’s process transforms the nylon 6 back into raw material without any loss of quality

I "think" I once read plastic for food or beverage has to be virgin new material only
