As the concern for our environment continues to grow, Mohawk has accepted the challenge to do our part to reduce, reuse, renew and recycle. The SmartStand® with DuPont™ and EverStrand™ fibers are two ground-breaking methods to manufacturing carpet. These fibers truly reduce, reuse, renew and recycle. One could say a better environment is just a kernel of corn or a plastic bottle away.

SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer

SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer contains ingredients made from corn sugar – 37% of renewable resource. These renewably sourced ingredients replace ingredients that traditionally were derived from petroleum – a limited resource. Every seven yards of SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer saves the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline. Environmental benefits with no compromise on performance. So by choosing Eco-smart technology, you are choosing to reduce your environmental impact. That’s smart.

SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer reduces our environmental footprint but what about the durability, texture and stain resistance of this product? SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer offers environmental benefits with no compromises. With unbeatable built-in stain protection for all the “oops” moments, time-tested durability, incredible softness and eco-smart technology, SmartStrand® lets you focus on other things besides your carpet.

EverStrand™

P.E.T. used to make plastic beverage bottles is a higher-grade material than used in traditional PET carpet. When those discarded bottles are recycled, they can be processed into fibers that are far superior to lower-grade synthetic fibers used in making other brands of carpet yarns. Our fiber families are responsible to the planet we all share, and Mohawk takes that responsibility very seriously. We recycle more than three billion plastic bottles each year — 14,000 every minute — turning each one into gorgeous, eco-friendly EverStrand™ carpet.

P.E.T. provides exceptional stain resistance with superb color clarity. You can trust the way they look, love the way they feel, and have complete assurance in their natural resistance to stains and spills.
