CLIMATE change is one of the greatest threats facing our planet. Milliken is committed to enabling customers to make more sustainable flooring choices. All Milliken floorcoverings are already carbon neutral thanks to the Company’s M/PACT Programme. Milliken’s sustainability journey continues with ambitious goals to reduce further any environmental impact.
M/PACT Carbon neutral programme
In the fight against climate change, Milliken’s M/PACT Programme ensures that Milliken carpet, LVT, woven and entrance tile products are now carbon neutral, everywhere in the world.
While off-setting the full cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of all their floorcoverings, Milliken continue to innovate in product design and to invest in new technologies that will accelerate the shift to renewable energy.
Product sustainability
Milliken supports the advancement of a circular economy – one that uses less raw materials and creates less waste.
Recycled content
Wherever possible, Milliken develops products with recycled content and locally sourced raw materials. Through a partnership with Healthy Seas, discarded fishing nets are recovered to make the high-quality Econyl yarn used in Milliken carpet tiles.
Milliken’s innovative WellBAC Comfort and Comfort Plus carpet cushion backings are manufactured with 90% recycled polyurethane, while their primary backing materials are made from recycled materials such as PET bottles.
Minimising waste
Ensuring products are not wastefully over-engineered, Milliken floor coverings are designed with face weights that optimise budgetary and performance requirements. For carpet, Milliken’s innovative TractionBack 2.0 adhesive-free coating enables more cost and time efficient installation while eliminating unnecessary material waste.
