The purpose of this Standard is to provide a market-based definition for a path to sustainable carpet, to
establish performance requirements for public health and environment, and to address the triple bottom
line, economic-environmental-social, throughout the supply chain.
The goals of this Standard are to:
- increase the economic value of sustainable carpet throughout the supply chain by enhancing
market demand for sustainable carpet products;
- provide information that enables specifiers to sort out the complex information on sustainability
attributes;
- identify other consensus-based standards relevant to sustainable carpet;
- educate and instruct all stakeholders in the carpet supply chain; and
- encourage competition between manufacturers and their suppliers to seek out or develop
environmentally preferable processes, practices, power sources, and materials.
