It’s flooring—and then some. Made for More.
At Interface, sustainability is at the core of who we are, so we carefully consider the materials we use in our products. We live in an industrial system where most materials are still made in ways that negatively impact our planet and our health. We do not accept that running a profitable company has to have these impacts. Instead, we are committed to showing the world a better way to do business.
Sometimes we are asked why we use PVC plastic in our LVT since concerns around the potential negative impacts of this material have been highlighted.

All PVC is not created equal.
All PVC used by Interface in our LVT complies with the Green Star PVC Best Practice Guidelines. Green Star audits manufacturing facilities for compliance, and only allows products that meet the guidelines to contribute to a credit.
We utilise these independent guidelines - developed in Australia – because global PVC use continues to grow despite efforts like Red Lists, making it vitally important that specifiers have a way to ask for better PVC.
Compliance with this addresses the traditional concerns about the manufacture of PVC, harmful additives like heavy metal stabilizers and phthalate plasticizers, and end of life.
As we continue the push forward. We always strive to ensure that today’s materials and practices are held to the highest standards available.
The Climate Take Back Plan
Through our commitment to achieving Climate Take Back™, we strive to:
- Eliminate chemistries of concern from our products
- Eliminate the use of virgin raw materials by making all our products from recycled and bio-based materials
- Close the loop by being responsible for our products at the end of their life
- Shift the carbon footprint of our products
