Carbon negative backings showed us what was possible. That replacing virgin materials with recycled content and bio-based materials could significantly reduce a carpet tile’s total carbon footprint. Our CQuest™ backings are doing just that.
Circularity doesn’t end at installation. Not even close.
Regional take-back, reuse, and material recovery programs extend product life, lower carbon, and keep materials in play for as long as possible. An end-of-use path your teams can follow.
We’re taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint of our carpet tile even further.
How will we do it? More investments in innovation and R&D. More collaboration with suppliers. And more carbon-storing materials in our carpet tiles.
Selectively replace tiles. And reduce waste.
Our carpet tile installation waste is reduced to just 1-2% with non-directional installations.
We reduce virgin materials and store carbon in our carpet tile with recycled and bio-based inputs, plus captured carbon that turns waste greenhouse gases into new materials.
The result? Lower embodied carbon from day one and access to 200+ cradle-to-gate carbon negative products you can specify today.
Our glue-free TacTiles® installation system mimics nature - specifically the gecko’s ability to “stick" to surfaces. This creates a “floating floor” for faster installation. Plus, it has a 90% lower carbon footprint than traditional adhesive.
PVC can get a bad rap. But not all PVC is created equal. We take extra steps to ensure responsible use of PVC – to protect the planet and human health.
