Commitment & hard work of all of Mohawk employees for sustainable flooring

Our carpet and tile manufacturer Mohawk was included named on Newsweek Magazine's 500 greenest companies in the United States.

Newsweek uses many factors such as: environmental footprint, disclosure of methods and management of footprint. They had also been similarly recognized among the top five Georgia companies for sustainability practices in the Southeast—and number one in its industry in May 2011.

We are proud to offer Mohawk at Carpets Plus Wisconsin.

Your old Carpet is Recycled and Reused. It has been for 5+ years

 Manufacturers like Mohawk and Shaw are using recycled materials like P.E.T. plastics in their carpet yarns. Not only is the use of plastic beverage bottles good for our environment, but they are finding the yarns superior to those using lower grades of synthetic fibers. (Shaw Green Edge)

 We are committed to environmentally responsible business practices . We believe that the way that we live today impacts the world for generations to come. Old carpet does not have to end up in an overflowing landfill. Here is how we work with our partner at Shaw Floors. 

Green Floor and Wall Product: Natural Stone Veneer

We are proud to be the Midwest Distributor for Erth Coverings Stone products.

• The thin stone comes in sheets and is less than 2 inches thick. It is made of waste collected from stone producers and quarries - very green!
• A wall covered in Erth stone veneer requires approximately 75% less material than man made stone and 300% less material than full bed stone because of the thinner layers - very green!
• Trucks can carry approximately 12% more than manufactured stone and 465% more material than full bed stone due to its reduced weight per square foot. Reduced fuel consumption and transportation emissions. - very green!
