Atlanta-based company Interface's flooring collections now boast carbon-neutral carpets and vinyl. The business strived to update its product without sacrificing the high standard of production and the premium quality. The eco-conscious project has been in the works for over 20 years and as of October 2018 Interface's flooring options are fully carbon neutral — from the carpets to luxury vinyl tiles.
The updated product comes at no extra cost to consumers and in fact, the objective behind the programme is "to encourage customers to take action and help them towards lowering their own carbon footprint." With this futuristically oriented vision for its product line, Interface is able to separate itself from the traditional flooring company.
