Mohawk Greenworks:
Environmental Leadership That Works!
Making “green claims” is easy. Making a green difference is a bit more difficult.
For years, Mohawk has been an industry leader in actively seeking innovative ways to recycle, reduce, reuse and renew. We’ve learned that successful energy-saving initiatives and eco-friendly flooring options work for everyone: our business, our industry, our neighbors, our immediate environment and our entire planet.
So we’re always exploring new ideas to make our products and processes more sustainable and reduce our use of natural resources. Mohawk is committed to being responsible and sustainable, as reflected in the Corporate Policy.
By the Numbers
- 500: The number of Mohawk products currently containing recycled materials.
- 3 Billion: About how many recycled plastic bottles we take in each year to manufacture Mohawk EverStrand™ carpet and other home products.
- 3 Billion: Pounds of pre- and post-consumer waste Mohawk diverts from landfills each year.
- 100 percent: Water from manufacturing processes at Mohawk ceramic tile facilities that is reused and never discharged as waste.
- 7 square yards: The energy savings for this amount of SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer is equal to one gallon of gasoline.
- 1 Billion: Pounds of foam trim diverted from landfills and used to create Mohawk cushion.
And that’s just a small snapshot of the many ways we’ve found to decrease our carbon footprint. The result: beautiful, environmentally friendly flooring and reduced impact on the planet. After all, Mohawk’s not just doing this for show; we’re doing it for generations to come.
