INTERFACE MODULAR CARPET TILES

Focus | PRODUCT Cycle | TECHNICAL X1 | REUSE Business Model | PRODUCT ORIENTED Material Flow | CIRCULAR

Interface leads commercial flooring sustainability through modular carpet tiles designed for selective replacement without affecting the broader installation. The i2 collection uses premium solution-dyed nylon and proprietary backing systems for durability in demanding environments, enabling reuse when individual tiles require replacement or spaces are reconfigured. Interface achieved carbon neutrality across entire product lifecycles in 2018 and has actively collected and recycled post-consumer vinyl-backed carpet tiles for 25+ years. The modular design principle—allowing piecemeal replacement rather than wholesale reinstallation—exemplifies how thoughtful product architecture extends functional lifecycles and enables responsible end-of-life material flows for commercial spaces.
