Business can, indeed, blend beauty with sustainability

A new modular carpet collection, Net Effect, is inspired both by the ocean’s life-giving power and its plight — marine life and habitats that are endangered by discarded fishing nets, acidification, over-fishing, pollution and climate change.

Net Effect will debut at NeoCon 2013 in Chicago and roll out globally throughout 2013. Manufacturing will take place locally at Interface’s North American, European, and Asia-Pacific facilities. This uniform global production allows for specification on six continents.

The collection was born of Net-Works, an innovative global business and conservation partnership between Interface and the conservation charity the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). Net-Works was launched in the Danajon Bank area of the Philippines in 2012.
