FLOORING: Mohawk explains why their carpet is green home ready

April 24th, 2008

When a carpeting company claims to offer a green home remodel solution, what do they mean?   This week Mohawk puts their stamp on an explanation:

  • Today, Mohawk will recycle 8 million plastic bottles, turning it into 275,000 square
    yards of beautiful carpeting.
  • Today, Mohawk will divert more than 475,000 pounds from going into a landfill,
    recycling it into usable materials.
  • Today, Mohawk will produce hardwood flooring that reclaims wood from torn-down buildings.
  • Today, Mohawk will use renewably sourced materials instead of petroleum-based
    products to make soft, durable, stain-resistant carpeting.
  • Mohawk will do all this and hundreds of more Earth-friendly efforts. And Mohawk
    will do it tomorrow, the day after that and every day following.
