Interface
Interface, Inc. is a worldwide commercial flooring company and global leader in sustainability.
Interface, Inc. is a global flooring company specializing in carbon neutral carpet tile and resilient flooring, including luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and nora® rubber flooring. We help our customers create high-performance interior spaces that support well-being, productivity, and creativity, as well as the sustainability of the planet. Our mission, Climate Take Back™, invites you to join us as we commit to operating in a way that is restorative to the planet and creates a climate fit for life.
The products from Interface are created and designed for various segments and applications, like corporate offices, healthcare facilities, hospitality, education, public spaces and transportation.
Interface has a long-standing history of creating products that are not only inspired by nature’s design but are also better for the environment. Since 1994, Interface has worked arduously to reduce every product’s environmental impact – reducing the average carbon impact of its products by an estimated 60 percent. Addressing the remaining carbon impacts has led to offsetting more than 4 million tons of carbon dioxide since introducing carbon neutral carpet tiles to the market in 2002 through its original Cool Carpet™ program in the Americas.
In 2019, the company expanded the program globally and included all luxury vinyl tile (LVT) products within its portfolio, as well. And in January, Interface announced all nora® rubber flooring products are also included. This evolution resulted in Interface’s Carbon Neutral Floors™ program.
To reach carbon neutrality for all products globally, Interface calculates all remaining greenhouse gas emissions for the entire lifecycle of its products and invests in verified emission reduction projects located all over the world to offset them. These projects have included reforestation, addressing deforestation and degradation, wind-based power generation, low-impact run of river electricity generation, and improved household charcoal stoves. The program is verified annually by independent third-party auditors.
In keeping with its more than 20-year commitment to sustainability, Interface has taken a holistic approach to carbon neutrality, looking beyond carbon emissions from manufacturing to considering and calculating emissions across the entire product lifecycle. This begins with raw materials and continues through manufacturing, transportation, maintenance and ultimately end-of-life product take back and recycling through ReEntry®, and other disposal methods. Because Interface has already reduced the carbon footprint of its products to the lowest levels in the industry based on publicly available data, it is economically viable – and more importantly, environmentally responsible – to achieve carbon neutrality through the supply chain of the products and the purchase of carbon offsets.
Early estimates indicate that Interface offset 400,000 metric tons of carbon emissions in 2018 as part of the program, equivalent to the carbon absorbed annually by nearly half a million acres of forest.
This is a timely product choice, as architects and designers, flooring contractors and end users are beginning to see that their decisions – the products they specify and buy – have a direct impact on our climate. By specifying Interface products, they can do their part to address embodied carbon, or the carbon associated with the materials and processes used to create building products.
Through the Carbon Neutral Floors program, Interface provides information to each customer to help them understand the carbon impact of their purchase. For each flooring purchase, the company can calculate the estimated carbon reductions and present that documentation to the customer at the project or total global purchase level. For example, for every 1,000 sq. meters of Interface flooring sold, the company will offset carbon emissions equivalent to a car travelling 25,000 miles, or one trip around the Earth. Interface also provides tools to promote their leadership with key stakeholder groups, including their employees.
