Interface Makes Climate Neutral COOL. Ultimately, reducing greenhouse gas emissions will slow global warming, an effect Interface calls COOL. Via its Cool Carpet program, Interface helps customers offset the emissions associated with the carpet or fabric they have purchased.
Via Cool Fuel, Interface uses corporate fuel rebates to neutralize the climate affects of day-to-day travel by its associates and the Interface fleet. Cool Blue is the company's process by which carpet is recycled into new carpet backing.
