Netting a More Sustainable Supply Chain [SLIDESHOW]

Aug. 1, 2013

Interface's Net-Works program has created a unique supply chain for modular carpeting that extends from fishing villages in the Philippines to an advanced recycling facility in Slovenia to Interface's own manufacturing facilities. This slideshow traces how this supply chain feeds into the production of Interface's Net Effect line of modular carpeting. For more information on the product and its supply chain, see the companion article, A Net Gain for Sustainable Manufacturing.
