Interface Invests in Captured Carbon Material Innovation to Meet Bold Climate Commitments

Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: TILE), the global flooring solutions
company and leader in sustainability, today announced it is
incorporating captured carbon in its manufacturing processes as a
key raw material to store more carbon and lower the carbon
footprints of its carpet tile products. This aligns with the
company’s ‘all in’ commitment to be carbon negative by 2040, and to
repurpose former carbon offset investments into projects that
accelerate carbon reduction and carbon storage.
As of today, Interface’s carpet tile manufacturing processes in
the U.S. and Europe now use captured carbon. Customers now receive
a lower carbon footprint carpet tile for their projects at no extra
cost and without compromising design and performance. As an early
adopter of captured carbon technology, Interface is creating a
demand for an innovation that can be used to lower the carbon
impact of various end-user products across multiple industries.
Captured carbon is an innovative low-carbon raw material that
avoids carbon emissions that would otherwise be released into the
air by capturing and reintegrating them into an existing raw
material. This new version of the raw material performs the same as
the material that Interface has used for years but has a lower
carbon footprint. It locks carbon away in a closed loop, keeping it
out of the atmosphere.
“Since 1996, we’ve made impressive progress to reduce our carbon
impacts through product and manufacturing innovations. In fact,
we’ve reduced the carbon footprint of our carpet tile portfolio by
82%,” said Luca Achilli, Global Innovation & Sustainability
Projects Director. “Our R&D and product development teams are
constantly analyzing our supply chain processes and raw materials,
looking for opportunities to make the most progress toward our
carbon negative by 2040 goal. Captured carbon is an output of this
innovative thinking that furthers our leadership across the
commercial flooring industry.”
Carbon emissions reduction is central to Interface’s ‘all in’
commitment. By partnering with its suppliers, Interface is
demonstrating that there is a need and market for continued
innovation in raw materials that reduce and store carbon. Over the
years, Interface has worked with its supply chain to source
recycled and bio-based materials to support circularity through
manufacturing. Incorporating captured carbon in select regions is
another important step for Interface to store more carbon. Now,
captured carbon, alongside recycled and bio-based materials, will
be an integral part of carpet tile manufacturing processes in U.S.
and Europe. These types of raw materials are critical building
blocks to creating low-carbon or carbon negative floors.
“Carbon is not only the problem – we also see it as the solution
to making progress on our climate commitments. We need less carbon
in the air, and more stored in our products,” continued Achilli.
“That’s why we’re always innovating across our flooring categories.
We’ll continue to invest in new raw materials and other innovative
solutions that help us avoid carbon, reduce carbon, and store
carbon in our own products and operations, and throughout our
supply chain.”
