As part of their global initiative, Mohawk helps homeowners to enhance their sustainability in 2023 and beyond. Here’s the rundown on the new tool.
The Importance of Sustainable Flooring
With the Mohawk Sustainability Estimator, homeowners gain insight into their flooring’s eco-friendly nature. From a financial standpoint, sustainable floors tend to be more cost-effective. In fact, sustainable flooring incorporates recycled materials.

Aside from being affordable and sustainable, eco-friendly flooring limits the use of these toxic chemicals during production to create safer environments everywhere.
