‘All In’ Strategy & Commitment

Interface

Carpet has the highest carbon footprint per unit of any interior design material, according to a study by the Carbon Leadership Forum. Interface has been on a 30-year journey to lower its carbon footprint and become carbon negative by 2040, which it aims to do through carbon reduction and storage. 

The company is redirecting former offset investments towards projects that drive direct carbon reductions and carbon storage. These efforts include reimagining product development and manufacturing, increasing recycled content, increasing the use of biobased materials, exploring opportunities and partnerships in its supply chain, and driving commercial adoption of circular models across all product categories. 

Interface reaffirmed its commitment in 2025 with two major announcements: the introduction of the first-ever carbon negative rubber prototype and the integration of captured carbon into its carpet tile manufacturing processes.  

These updates align with Interface’s 2030 science-based targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and aligned with a 1.5ºC pathway. After just five years, Interface has already passed the halfway point toward achieving each target.
