Our Progress
Interface’s Mission Zero journey is marked by measureable environmental, economic and social achievements. Interface tracks progress along this path using a rigorous
metric system established in 1996. These metrics enable the company to understand the impacts of its processes and products, and to drive improvement. By being
transparent in our progress, we hope to educate others and engage our stakeholders to join us on our mission. Because credibility is critical, Interface supports the development
verification and certification standards and participates in these processes whenever possible.

Interface Launches Yearlong Look at Mission Zero™ Metrics
Interface is now 10 years from its Mission Zero goal, and is launching a yearlong look at its EcoMetrics, assessing progress and creating a vision for what success looks like. First up is the release of the company’s most recent waste reduction and rematerialization metrics.
- Of the 400 million pounds of raw materials purchased in 2009, 3.4 million pounds of waste went to landfills, 6.9 million pounds of raw material were recycled to be used again, and 9.6 million pounds of waste was sent to energy recovery as a use of last resort.
- Continued savings from Interface’s QUEST program has netted $433 million in cumulative avoided costs since 1995.
- ReEntry 2.0, Interface’s reclamation and recycling initiative, diverted 25 million pounds of reclaimed carpet and post-industrial scrap from the landfill in 2009.
