Sustainable Choices
Reasons to choose carpet
– Reduces indoor air contaminants; specify low-VOC carpet products and systems
– Low-VOC carpet supports attaining LEED certification
– Choose textiles that meet MTS Sustainable Textile Standard©
![Page 7: Sustainable Carpets. Sponsored by: Sustainable Textile Standard © : Applicable to Carpet and Beyond The Institute for Market Transformation to Sustainability.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace6f9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ISO compliant Life Cycle Assessments (LCA). LCA identifies multiple product environmental benefits/impacts throughout the supply chain. Product LCAs are required by law for sustainable, green, or environmentally preferable products, because consumers view these products as environmentally beneficially in all respects.

Reuse• Carpet can be made of
recycled materials, i.e. PET bottles, carpet scraps
• Reused carpet can itself be recycled
• Recycling process takes up to 34 steps, whereas Reuse takes three steps
• No escalating landfill costs & diverts waste from landfill
• Sign of good product stewardship

Reuse/Renewing saves:
Bottom-line, reduced first cost
Applicable to most carpet tiles
Carpet tiles can be reused/ renewed multiple times
Cost effective

Additional choices for carpet• Choose recycled
carpet– Evaluate post-
industrial and post-consumer recycled content
– Supports attaining 1 LEED Materials point
• MTS standard defines recycled content as:
The amount of material by weight "collected, separated or otherwise recovered from the solid waste stream for use in the form of raw materials, in the manufacture or assembly of a new package or product” (16 C.F.R. § 260.7 (d)) excluding materials that serve as fillers or binding agents.
