Addition helps keep sustainability top-of-mind,
clearly communicates flooring’s carbon impact
Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: TILE), the global flooring solutions
company and leader in sustainability, today announced that it is
making it easier for customers to understand the carbon impact of
their product selections by including project-specific embodied
carbon metrics on all floor plans created by the Interface Design
Studio (IDS). The company is using a unique combination of
technology and data to calculate the carbon footprint of a
project’s flooring. As a result, Interface is the first flooring
manufacturer to deliver embodied carbon metrics as standard on its
floor plans, helping customers understand how Interface can
positively contribute to their project’s sustainability and carbon
goals.
Each IDS floor plan now includes a dynamic bar graph that
showcases the total embodied carbon value for all Interface
products used within a project, including carpet tile, LVT, and
nora® rubber. The floor plan also features an industry average
embodied carbon value for the project’s flooring to clearly
communicate the carbon footprint savings customers can achieve by
partnering with Interface.
“More than ever, our customers recognize their role in driving
climate action and are looking for opportunities to reach their own
bold sustainability goals,” said Nigel Stansfield, Chief Innovation
& Sustainability Officer at Interface. “With the addition of
project-specific embodied carbon metrics on all IDS floor plans,
designers around the world can now more readily compare and balance
the impact of their projects across multiple criteria, including
sustainability, cost, performance, and aesthetics.”
The addition of embodied carbon metrics on IDS floor plans
demonstrates how Interface supports its customers at every stage of
the project life cycle. Previously, designers who wanted to know
the carbon impact of the flooring in a project had to research the
carbon footprint of the various styles used in the design, then
manually calculate each product’s embodied carbon value based on
the quantity used. Because these calculations are now woven into
IDS’ floor plan creation, customers can quickly obtain a complete
picture of their project’s carbon impact without any extra time or
effort.
Interface sources the flooring-specific embodied carbon data
using the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3), the
cornerstone tool of nonprofit Building Transparency. The company is
a founding partner of the EC3 tool, which hosts the largest
open-access database of digital, third-party verified Environmental
Product Declarations, helping support comparison and selection of
low-carbon materials and products.
Interface’s move to share project-specific embodied carbon
metrics aligns with its commitment to be ‘all in’ on solving the
climate crisis and to focus on direct carbon reductions, rather
than offsets. By amplifying transparency, the company aims to
accelerate collective action within the A&D community and help
customers better understand the role their flooring selections play
in achieving low-carbon design.
