Making Sustainability Stylish
Great design shouldn’t come at the expense of the Earth. That’s why we’re all in on reducing carbon, reusing materials, and creating rugs with a lighter footprint. Together with our parent company, Interface, we’ll be carbon negative by 2040—that means taking more carbon out of the air than we put in.
#EarthDayEveryDay
Smart Design, Less Impact
Carbon is a challenge for our planet, but at FLOR, we’re turning it into part of the solution. By rethinking materials and product life cycles, we create rugs that help store carbon rather than release it.
Here’s how we do it:
Avoid Carbon
Make FLOR tiles that are built to last by continuing material efficiency and waste reduction in the manufacturing process.
Reduce Carbon
Continue decreased usage of virgin petroleum-derived raw materials, so great design doesn’t come at the expense of the Earth.
Store Carbon
Use recycled, bio-based materials to store carbon, so rugs can be reused and recycled again and again.
Inspire
Lead and influence others to help accelerate their own journeys to meet the urgency of the climate crisis.
The result? Less carbon in the air, more stored in our products. Sustainable style that doesn’t compromise on design.
Our Journey to Sustainability
1994
After a life-changing epiphany, Ray Anderson, CEO, embarks on a high-stakes quest to eliminate all negative environmental impacts Interface has on the environment by 2020.
2003
Interface launches FLOR, its speciality design brand, to create stylish rugs for residential homes.
2007
FLOR begins its Return & Recycle program, inviting customers to mail their old tiles back to be recycled into a beautiful new rug.
Once your FLOR has lived its useful life, send us your old tiles and we’ll turn them into new ones.
2010
Interface becomes the first brand in carpet or apparel to use Aquafil’s ECONYL® yarn, made from 100% regenerated nylon waste.
ECONYL® 100% recycled nylon is the same as brand-new nylon but doesn’t utilize new resources.
2012
FLOR publishes verified carbon footprint data for all products.
2022
FLOR utilizes materials that have sequestered carbon from the atmosphere, creating our first ever carbon negative area rugs.
The Future: Carbon Negative by 2040
We’re on a mission to prove that sustainability and great design go hand in hand. By designing products that store carbon instead of releasing it, we’re not just reducing our impact—we’re helping reverse it. It’s the future of flooring, and we’re already making it happen.

We’ve calculated how much carbon it takes to create our rugs so you can see your contribution to improving planetary health.
82%
reduction to the carbon footprint of our carpet tiles since 1996
66%
of carpet tile materials used are recycled or bio-based
100%
of electricity used in our manufacturing site is from renewable sources
Rug Backings That Give Back
We offer three backings that are designed to move towards a carbon negative future.
FLOR partners with Aquafil, who recycles used nylon into beautiful yarns for our area rugs. Aquafil’s regenerated ECONYL® 100% recycled nylon is the same as brand-new nylon but doesn’t utilize new resources.
CQuest™GB
This backing is made of post-consumer carpet tiles, bio-based elements, and pre-consumer recycled materials that are net carbon negative.
CQuest™Bio
This non-vinyl backing is made with biopolymers, plus bio based and recycled fillers that are net carbon negative.
CQuest™BioX
Our most sustainable backing, this has the same material makeup as Interface’s CQuestBio with a higher concentration of carbon negative materials.
…FLOR tiles makes a great statement piece into my new black and white master bath entry way. Big plus! older tiles can be recycled back to company they take care of return shipping. Buying new tiles can be addicting:)

I've been using FLOR tiles for years! I decided to re-do my home office and so I once again went on the hunt for the right look for the space. I took advantage of a free sample promo as well as the design your own tools. Plus, I can ship back the tiles from the rug this one has replaced for recycling! Thanks FLOR for being so durable, easy to clean, and conscious about our environment!
— Patricia
Have FLOR rugs throughout my house, love them. They look fantastic are from recycled material and so easy to clean up even with pets.
— Adriane
These FLOR carpet tiles look great in my dining room! Very attractive. I support FLOR because of their commitment to sustainability and quality of their products.

Love this [Doe Re Mi] pattern! I wish it lined up better to make a cohesive rug look. It looks great and seems very durable. Not as soft or plush as 'regular carpet. But I'll trade that for the functionality and recycled status.
