Our carpet tile is the expression of our passion for design and the embodiment of our sustainability mission.
We challenge assumptions and bring elegant approaches and innovative technology to the design of modular carpet. Sustainability is the lens through which we see the world and carpet tile is the medium that lets us show what is possible.
Historically, carpet tile production has been a highly polluting, water- and petro-intensive process. By posing different questions, we developed a more holistic view of the impacts our products and processes have on the planet. This has allowed us to be more strategic in minimizing—and ultimately eliminating—the environmental impacts associated with our products.
We’re designing a better product life cycle, not just a better product. We can’t achieve this alone, so we’ve been fortunate to work with willing partners. Looking at the data within this life cycle framework, we learned that the bulk of the impacts occur outside our own walls. The overall environmental impact of a carpet tile is heavily influenced by raw material extraction and processing, so we focused our efforts on using the least amount of materials necessary while achieving maximum performance and switching from virgin to recycled raw materials.
We offer exceptional products and performance with an added benefit to the planet.
Just because Interface is a leader in sustainability doesn’t mean that we’re willing to sacrifice the aesthetics or performance of our carpet tile products. We may cover the same ground as other companies, but we do it differently and—dare we say it?—better. Believe it or not, part of our success stems from our humility: we’re always open to listening and learning.
