Take one bold step to reducing your carbon footprint.

When you choose Interface flooring, you’re on the path to a more sustainable space. You’re choosing to reduce the carbon footprint of your space and help improve the health of the planet.

The flooring products that we sell, including carpet tile, LVT, vinyl sheet, rigid core and nora® rubber are carbon neutral across their full product life cycle through our third party verified Carbon Neutral Floors™ program. And we calculate your floor’s impact so you can see its contribution to reducing global warming.

The Carbon Neutral Floors program is now certified to PAS 2060, an internationally recognized standard for carbon neutrality. Read the Assurance Statement

Everything We Do is Neutral. Carbon Neutral.

Interface is now a third-party certified Carbon Neutral Enterprise.

Our Journey to Carbon Neutral Floors

We know the impact our flooring has on our planet – whether carpet tile, LVT, vinyl sheet, rigid core or nora rubber. And we’ve been leading the way to reduce the carbon footprint of our products for more than two decades.

In 2003, we began offering carbon neutral flooring by offsetting the full life cycle of greenhouse gas emissions for carpet tiles across North and South America.

In 2018, we expanded the program across our product catalog – and the globe – by including all global sales of carpet tiles and LVT, adding nora rubber products in 2019 and our rigid core in 2021.

Since the program began in 2003, more than 551 million square yards of carbon neutral flooring have been sold globally, and 6.1 million metric tonnes of verified emission reduction credits have been retired – all while reducing the carbon footprint of our carpet tile products by over 76% since 1996.

Add a material

By specifying Interface flooring products, the carbon emissions that would be avoided are approximately: metric tonnes

That's the equivalent of...

Carbon emissions avoided from

cars being driven for a year
Carbon emissions avoided from

annual household electricity use
Carbon emissions avoided from

million smartphones charged
Carbon sequestered by

acres of forest

Based on US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies calculator.

Carbon Neutral Floors™

Through the Carbon Neutral Floors™ program, Interface offsets these emissions by purchasing verified emissions reduction credits from projects that address climate change and habitat loss.

What is Embodied Carbon

Embodied carbon is the carbon footprint of a material – the sum of all the carbon dioxide resulting from the mining, harvesting, processing, manufacturing, transportation, and installation of building materials. It can be measured from "cradle to gate" or "cradle to site." Reducing embodied carbon is the most critical component of the carbon life cycle at Interface, as it’s the part that we can control as we construct our flooring products.

Since 1996, we’ve reduced the embodied carbon footprint of our carpet tile product by 76% by changing how we design and make our products through the use of recycled materials, dematerialization, and improved manufacturing efficiencies. Then, through our Carbon Neutral Floors program, by compensating for what we still can't avoid with carbon offsets from renewable energy, fuel switching and reforestation projects.

Global Warming Impacts Everyone

To compensate for the full life cycle carbon emissions that we are unable to eliminate, we purchase carbon offsets. The carbon offset projects we purchase are validated and verified according to internationally known standards and are retired on third-party registries. This assures that the carbon credits we use are real (have happened), additional (beyond business-as-usual activities), measurable and permanent. Types of projects we support with our carbon offsets: Asia-Pacific - Renewable energy projects from solar and wind power to reduce the amount of carbon emissions entering the atmosphere, as well as forest projects for reestablishments of native forest, conservation, and the protection of biodiversity. Africa - Forest protection from deforestation and degradation, alongside community fuel switching and water purification projects tackling carbon emissions while promoting human health and community empowerment. Americas - Reforestation projects to keep carbon stored and sequestered in the soil and plants.
