The ANSI/NSF 140-2007E carpet standard. Smaller footprint, more sustainability. The carpet industry has made significant progress in reducing the environmental footprint of carpet, including landfill use, carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, waste generation, water usage and hazardous air pollutants per square yard of carpet. The standard is a means by which these achievements can be quantifiably measured. Further, the standard establishes a pathway towards sustainable carpet by identifying economic, environmental and social benchmarks throughout the supply chain. NSF 140-2007 recognizes sustainable carpet on three performance levels – silver, gold and platinum – using a rating system for performance and quantifiable metrics in the following areas: • Public Health and Environment • Energy and Energy Efficiency • Biobased or Recycled Materials • Manufacturing • Reclamation and End of Life Management Visit us online at www.carpet-rug.org and www.criblog.org — The Carpet and Rug Institute
