Products that go beyond neutral to help restore the health of the planet.
Embodied Carbon is the carbon footprint of the product from raw material creation, growth and extraction through processing until it is packaged and ready to be shipped from the factory. Operational Carbon means the carbon footprint of everything that happens after it leaves Interface, including shipment, customer use and end of life.
Reducing embodied carbon is the most urgent challenge of all. Since 1994, we’ve been leading our industry in reducing the carbon footprint of our products to become the lowest in the industry through their full life cycle.

In 2021, we launched our first carbon negative carpet tile, the most environmentally friendly product we have ever made. Though the embodied carbon for these new products is net negative (cradle-to-gate), the total life cycle still has a carbon footprint due to operational carbon. To keep the entire life cycle of our products carbon neutral, we offset our operational carbon through the Carbon Neutral Floors program.
We’ve achieved our Mission Zero™ commitment. Now we’re raising the bar to set even bolder goals. Our goal is to halve our company carbon emissions by 2030 and become a carbon negative enterprise by 2040.

We hope that the approach we have taken has given you food for thought, but we cannot reverse global warming alone. We need your help. There are a number of steps you can take to design with carbon and the climate in mind.
Don’t be afraid to speak up and educate design firms and owners as early as possible on the impact of embodied carbon
