As the concern for our environment continues to grow, Capitol Carpet & Tile is proud to do our part. From carpet, to green hardwood floors like bamboo, cork and reclaimed wood, being green is as easy as it is beautiful.

As a Mohawk Floorscapes dealer, we are able to offer green carpet from a an industry leader. For years, Mohawk has been actively seeking innovative ways to recycle, reduce, reuse and renew. Successful energy-saving initiatives and eco-friendly flooring options work for everyone: our businesses, our industries, our neighbors, our immediate environment and our entire planet. Mohawk is always exploring new ideas to make products and processes more sustainable and reduce the use of natural resources.

The SmartStand® with DuPont™ and EverStrand™ fibers are two ground-breaking methods to manufacturing carpet. These fibers truly reduce, reuse, renew and recycle. One could say a better environment is just a kernel of corn or a plastic bottle away.

SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer

SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer contains ingredients made from corn sugar – 37% of renewable resource. These renewably sourced ingredients replace ingredients that traditionally were derived from petroleum – a limited resource. Every seven yards of SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer saves the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline. Environmental benefits with no compromise on performance. So by choosing Eco-smart technology, you are choosing to reduce your environmental impact. That’s smart.

EverStrand™

P.E.T. used to make plastic beverage bottles is a higher-grade material than used in traditional PET carpet. When those discarded bottles are recycled, they can be processed into fibers that are far superior to lower-grade synthetic fibers used in making other brands of carpet yarns. Our fiber families are responsible to the planet we all share, and Mohawk takes that responsibility very seriously. Mohawk recycles more than three billion plastic bottles each year – 14,000 every minute - turning each one into gorgeous, eco-friendly EverStrand™ carpet.

P.E.T. provides exceptional stain resistance with superb color clarity. You can trust the way they look, love the way they feel, and have complete assurance in their natural resistance to stains and spills.

Capitol Carpet & Tile also recycles used carpet and pads.
