How we approach sustainability 

We judge every decision on three tests: is it better for people, better for the planet, and better for performance? A floor that wears out early isn't sustainable, however it was made. Neither is one made with chemicals of concern. So we track carbon, water, material health and circularity together, and we report progress every year in the Mohawk Industries Impact Report.

Better for People 

We design floors for the people who make them, install them and work with them every day. Declare labels disclose every ingredient, and our products are designed to avoid Red List chemicals. At our Light Lab in Dalton, Georgia, we study how floors affect wellbeing, wayfinding and focus. Specify for a Cure has helped give more than $8 million to Susan G. Komen since 2001, and ArtLifting empowers artists with disabilities to inspire distinctive flooring collections.

Better for Planet

We reduce our impact first, then disclose and offset what's left. Since 2022, all our carpet tile, broadloom, woven, LVT and resilient products have been carbon neutral, with an extra 5% in offsets. We were one of the first flooring makers to join The Climate Pledge, committing to net-zero carbon by 2040. Through Water.org, we aim to help 75,000 people gain safe water and deliver 275 million gallons of water benefits by 2030. We've certified products to the Living Product Challenge, and recovery through our ReCover take-back program grew 133% in 2025.

Better for Performance

The most sustainable floor is the one you don't have to replace. Duracolor® Tricor® fiber has built-in stain protection and soil hiding, proven over 30 years of installations, so spaces need fewer harsh cleaners and fewer early replacements. ColorPulse™, a patented process, gives solution-dyed nylon a space-dyed look without using any water to dye. Definity with Colorstrand® has five times lower global warming potential and creates four times less waste than wool. Together, these technologies help floors last longer while using fewer resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Since 2022, every Mohawk Group floor covering product has been Beyond Carbon Neutral. That includes carpet tile, broadloom, woven, LVT and resilient. We measure each product's emissions, reduce them in manufacturing, and offset the rest plus 5% more through third-party projects. Our [carbon substantiation report] has the details.

Carbon neutral means a product's measured emissions are fully balanced by reductions and verified offsets. Beyond Carbon Neutral is Mohawk Group's commitment to offset 5% more than we emit, so the positive impact (our handprint) is larger than the footprint.

Yes. The ReCover program collects end-of-life flooring and recycles or repurposes it. In 2025, Mohawk recovered more than 49 million pounds of end-of-life product, and ReCover volumes grew 133% year over year. Learn more about the program on the ReCover Website.

Every product page links its EPD, HPD, and Declare label, and the full library is on our certifications page. Mohawk Group holds more than 70 Declare labels, and our EPDs are third-party verified to ISO 14025.
