EPD: Commercial carpet tile covering, 6.7 mm, 4.090 kg/m2, EcoFlex™ ICT (Mohawk Group)

Research and development is the foundation of Mohawk Group’s achievements in sustainable design and innovation. To that end, one of Mohawk’s successes in creating sustainable products which perform to the needs and expectations of the commercial user is the EcoFlex™ ICT modular tile platform. Constructed using the EcoFlex™ ICT recycled content backing system in combination with a pile fiber wear layer containing nylon Type 6, 6.6, or Recycled Type 6, the resulting products offer designers hundreds of style and pattern options. Additionally, with the availability of yarn dye or solution dye processes, color combinations are nearly endless. The Life Cycle Analysis was conducted on an average face weight of 22 oz. per square yard, which was the average of the annual sales. The range of the nylon pile fiber wear layer is 14-34 (osy). Unless noted in the report, the 22 (osy) is presented for the impacts.
