Challenges to Mission Zero

Our sustainability vision has transformed the culture at Interface, but building an engaged culture is an ongoing process. We need to sustain a culture that keeps our people connected to Mission Zero and empowered to effect change. By stimulating organizational learning, creating forums for idea-sharing and celebrating successes, we hope to foster new thinking.

Our ambitious sustainability goals include reducing our impacts on the environment to achieve zero environmental footprint. Our people have embraced this bold vision, and we’ve already achieved progress beyond our imagination. This is a goal that demands constant improvement and attention, but the ambition of this goal encourages us to dream big and accomplish things we never thought possible.

Replacing our virgin, petro-chemically derived fibers with recycled fibers is one of the biggest challenges we face - the transition to recycled and biobased fibers is complex and costly. We’re working closely with our nylon suppliers, and are pioneering a recycling system, called ReEntry®, to produce recycled materials from old carpets. ReEntry is proving the power of partnership - we’ve greatly expanded our access to recycled nylon and are starting to see a path to producing closed loop carpet products.
