As a flooring company committed to environmental leadership that works, Mohawk is even eco-conscious when it comes to manufacturing laminate.

By producing laminate boards in the United States made of 75 percent pre-consumer recycled content, Mohawk keeps 680 million pounds of material out of landfill.

One billion pounds - that’s the weight of the wood waste reused in Mohawk laminate board production. In the U.S. facilities, only renewable, fast growing southern pine is used. Additionally, Mohawk suppliers plant six times more trees than they harvest - saving the unnecessary destruction of additional trees.

As well as producing boards from pre-consumer recycled content, the Mohawk U.S. laminate facility in Thomasville, North Carolina, turns the sawdust waste created during production into fuel and any additional leftover wood waste into bio-mass fuel for process heating.

From plastic soda bottles to sawdust, Mohawk finds ways to use it all.
