Green Cushion
As part of our overall corporate waste reduction and conservation program, Mohawk
has developed a process for producing quality synthetic fiber pad from our fiber
and carpet manufacturing waste. These wastes are generated during normal manufacturing
steps and were originally thrown away creating additional waste.
Our process was specifically designed to recover these waste materials and to transform
them into quality pad using a set of proprietary processes that work the fibers
into a dense fiber pad that provides ideal cushioning effect for carpet and is backed
with a warranty.
Approximately 90% of our bonded carpet cushion is made from
recycled material. If this bonding process did not exist, approximately
1 billion pounds of foam trim would be shipped to landfills each year.
All Mohawk’s synthetic fiber
products are tested in accordance with the Carpet
and Rug Institute’s Indoor Air Quality Program. The Green Label is your
assurance that this product meets the established guidelines for emissions of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs)
