Milliken Achieves Silver Cradle to Cradle Certification for Global Carpet Line

Milliken Achieves Cradle to Cradle Certification at Silver Level

Milliken & Company, renowned for its innovative flooring solutions, has recently earned the prestigious Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver Version 5.0 for its entire global carpet line. This certification underscores Milliken's longstanding commitment to product safety, sustainability, and transparency.

Obtaining the Cradle to Cradle Certified® designation is no small feat; it requires that products meet rigorous standards across several critical sustainability categories. These include material safety, product circularity, air and climate protection, and responsible water and soil management. With the certification now covering their carpets, Milliken stands as a testament to the effectiveness of responsible product design and manufacturing practices.

Allie Bruski, Vice President of Product Marketing for Milliken’s flooring division, emphasized the growing complexity of sustainability information for clients. She stated, “This certification assures that when selecting Milliken floor coverings, clients are opting for products that have undergone independent evaluation in terms of material safety, circularity, and overall sustainability performance.” This transparency and conscientiousness are what set Milliken apart in the flooring industry today.

Moreover, this certification acts as a validation from a trusted third party, demonstrating Milliken’s ongoing efforts to promote transparency in product development. The company has been helping clients understand the materials that contribute to healthier, high-performing spaces for decades.

Despite the pressing nature of sustainability, Milliken believes that clients should not have to compromise on performance, comfort, or design in their flooring choices. Their products, in addition to meeting recognized sustainability standards, offer versatility, durability, and occupant-focused comfort benefits that one would expect from an industry leader. Their innovative carpet range even includes sound-absorbing backing, enhancing acoustic performance and ergonomics to create both functional and inspiring spaces.

Dale Kitchen, Director of Research and Development for Milliken's flooring division, remarked, “This achievement reinforces our teams' efforts in embedding sustainability into our product design and manufacturing processes. It also provides our clients with more reasons to trust that Milliken floor coverings can help them meet both their sustainability objectives and performance expectations.”
