EPD: Modular carpet tile, 1.93 kg/m2, EcoFlex™ Matrix (Mohawk Industries)

EcoFlex™ Matrix is a modular carpet tile consisting of a nylon face fiber tufted into a primary backing; precoated with an acrylate polymer to lock the tufts into place; back coated with polyolefin polymer and fiberglass scrim for stability. EcoFlex Matrix is the next generation of Mohawk’s carpet tile backing. Using advanced materials and patent-pending engineering, EcoFlex Matrix lowers environmental impact without sacrificing performance. EcoFlex Matrix simplifies floor preparation and installation, greatly reduces sub-floor moisture concerns, and is easier to ship and handle. As of 2022, all Mohawk Group flooring products will be carbon neutral plus an additional 5%. EcoFlex Matrix meets Mohawk Group’s commitment to Beyond Carbon Neutral. This study covers all products and styles with nylon face fiber on EcoFlex Matrix backing. Due to a range of face weights offered with this product, an average face weight of 15 oz/yd2 (509 g/m2) was used, which is the average of the annual sales. Unless noted in the report, the average face weight is presented for the impacts.
