Assessment Criteria Satisfied

ENERGY/GREENHOUSE

Low energy in production

recycling energy is only 10-20% of the energy required to produce virgin product

the closed loop manufacturing cycle will reduce the input energy of the tiles continuously each time tiles are recycled as less virgin material is used in each new cycle

HABITAT & LAND

Reduced terrestrial impact

currently carpet tiles are dumped to landfill

RESOURCE DEPLETION & EFFICIENCY

Post-consumer recycled content
Take-back/ product stewardship
Post-Industrial recycled content
Reuse potential

increasing use of recycled carpet tile-content in new tiles over time

ReEntry is a take-back program for all PVC-backed carpet tiles

Post-Industrial recycled content

Interface recycle tiles within their own system

ReEntry is a post-consumer take-back program

The introduction of recycled content into the manufacturing stream reduces the demand on virgin resources that have significantly (80-90%)higher embodied energy content than the recycled content
