Unveiling Sustainability Leadership at HD Expo 2024: RevWood Contract Now Carbon Negative!
Las Vegas, April 29, 2024 At HD Expo 2024, Durkan Mohawk Group Hospitality proudly unveils the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) of RevWood Contract, its award-winning LVT solution for hospitality spaces. Located at booth #4119, Durkan invites attendees to experience RevWood Contract firsthand and discover its groundbreaking achievement: becoming Mohawk Group's first carbon-negative flooring product.
The EPD provides transparent and standardized information about the environmental impact of RevWood Contract throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. The EPD was developed in accordance with ISO 14025 and ISO 14044 standards and independently verified by UL Environment.
RevWood Contract is crafted from reclaimed, bio-based materials that have a lower global warming potential than their petroleum-based counterparts. This eco-conscious flooring solution is sustainably sourced and manufactured here in the United States. By utilizing reclaimed wood chips, Mohawk Group is able to create beautiful and durable flooring without cutting down a single tree. RevWood Contract contains real wood, sequestering more CO2 than it emits during the time of manufacture, with an impressive -9.8 kg CO2 /M2 embodied carbon value. The result is a floor that is naturally negative, without offsets, for a better impact on people and the planet.
“The EPD for RevWood Contract demonstrates our commitment to providing our customers with the information they need to make informed decisions about the environmental impact of the products they choose,” said Jackie Dettmar, vice president of marketing, design, and product development for Mohawk Group. “In choosing RevWood Contract, our customers can be confident that they are making a responsible decision for the environment. This flooring option not only helps to reduce waste and conserve natural resources, but it also helps to mitigate the effects of climate change as an alternative to petroleum-based products.”
Featuring the most realistic wood visuals with emboss in register technology, RevWood Contract delivers unparalleled beauty and authenticity. The attached pad provides premium sound absorption, creating a more tranquil and inviting environment. The waterproof click system ensures that RevWood Contract can withstand even the most demanding commercial applications. And with maximum scratch and wear resistance, RevWood Contract is built to last.
