Product description

Interface, Inc. is a global flooring solutions company and sustainability leader, offering an integrated portfolio of carpet tile and resilient flooring products that includes Interface® carpet tile and LVT, nora® rubber flooring, and FLOR® premium area rugs for commercial and residential spaces. Made with purpose and without compromise, Interface flooring brings more sophisticated design, more performance, more innovation, and more climate progress to interior spaces. A decades-long pioneer in sustainability, Interface remains “all in” on becoming a restorative business. Today, the company is focusing on carbon reductions, not offsets, as it works toward achieving its verified science-based targets by 2030 and its goal to become a carbon negative enterprise by 2040.

Interpretation

The life cycle impacts of LVT are driven by the Product Stage (A1-A3) and the impacts from this stage are driven by raw materials. PVC and plasticizer are the major contributors to impacts. Recycled materials in the product greatly reduce the impacts as compared to virgin petrochemical based materials.
