GOOD DESIGN
NEVER ENDS
Built for the full life cycle, our products perform. And they endure. So they stay in use longer and reduce impact at every stage.
We harness low-carbon materials and pioneer flooring that can be reused, recycled, or repurposed.
Why? Because circularity is how we hit carbon goals. Together.
DESIGNED
for life
Longer lasting floors mean fewer replacements and emissions over time. Modular flooring uses less material and cut installation waste.

MATERIALS that matter
Products made from carbon-storing materials keep resources in use longer and help you cut carbon on every project.
BUILT FOR what's next
Circularity doesn’t end at installation. It’s why we make maintenance simple and end-of-life solutions possible.
CIRCULARITY
= CARBON
REDUCTION
From the materials we choose to the way products perform in your space, circularity is how we reach our carbon goals. And what you specify matters more than ever for even more climate impact. This guide explains how specifying circularity reduces carbon.
CIRCULARITY STARTS WITH DESIGN
85% of our footprint comes from the products we make. To change that, our approach is about more than one material, one innovation, one product – it’s about rethinking every stage of the life cycle across our full portfolio.
Carpet Tile
We design carpet tile to do more with less – less material, less waste, less carbon. Modular by design, our tiles cut installation waste and make replacement simple. Add regional take-back and reuse programs, and you’ve got floors that perform – and perform again.
LVT
Our LVT is engineered for circularity. Smarter construction reduces virgin inputs, recycled content keeps carbon in play instead of creating more, and durability ensures fewer replacements. That’s how we lower carbon without sacrificing performance.
nora Rubber
Circularity meets unmatched durability with nora® rubber. Natural rubber and recycled inputs lower material impact, while repairability helps keep products in play. And with up to 50 years of performance, you have a product designed for the long run – and a smaller lifetime carbon footprint.
CLIMATE
ACTION
AT SCALE
Circular thinking is how we go ‘all in’ on carbon. It’s core to our strategy to avoid, reduce, and store more carbon than ever before. And how we’ll become carbon negative by 2040.

Good design is how circularity uses less, lasts longer, and delivers lower carbon.

MATERIALS
Recycled content, bio-based materials, and captured carbon. This is circularity you can specify today.
RENEWAL
More flooring stays in play and avoids becoming waste with our regional ReEntry® reuse and recycling programs.
