NSF 140 Continues Carpet Industry Commitment to Sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability and environmental efforts continue to grow in\nimportance for many industries. Creating products that are green or sustainable\nis an ongoing challenge for businesses in these industries. The carpet industry\nis one such industry that is taking the lead with standards on sustainable\nplatforms. This past summer, stakeholders from the carpet industry, associated\nindustries, and other fields gathered to update NSF\/ANSI 140 Sustainability\nAssessment for Carpet (NSF 140).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NSF\/ANSI 140 Sustainability Assessment for Carpet\nfocuses on aiding material suppliers, converters, manufacturers, and end-users\nthrough design and product innovation, improved customer satisfaction,\necological restoration, and many other benefits. The carpet industry has made\nsignificant progress in reducing the environmental footprint of carpet,\nincluding landfill diversion, carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption,\nwaste generation, water usage, and hazardous air pollutants in the production\nof carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per NSF, the purpose of the Sustainability Assessment for\nCarpet is to establish consistent requirements for sustainable carpet products.\nThese requirements are intended to form the basis of conformity assessment\nprograms, such as third-party certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed as a consensus process with procedures from ASTM\nInternational, one of the largest standards development organizations in the\nworld that enhances performance and safety of products, NSF 140 is the premiere\nstandard for highlighting sustainability in carpet products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe update to NSF\/ANSI 140 reflects changes in the industry\nand technology that maintains this standard as the best for certifying\nsustainable products,\u201d CRI President Joe Yarbrough said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSF 140 recognizes sustainable carpet on three performance levels \u2014 silver, gold, and platinum \u2014 using a rating system for performance and quantifiable metrics in public health and environment, energy, recycled materials, and reclamation management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to NSF, the standard provides a market-based\ndefinition for a path to sustainable carpet, to establish performance\nrequirements for public health and environment, and to address the triple\nbottom line, economic-environmental-social, throughout the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned earlier, NSF 140 is developed under a consensus\nprocess with input from various industries to use a holistic perspective in\ndrafting the standard. The NSF\/ANSI 140 Joint Committee is the body responsible\nfor developing and overseeing the standard, so it maintains its status as the\nbest standard for promoting sustainable carpet products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe NSF\/ANSI 140 Joint Committee is a group of dedicated\nprofessionals with a high level of expertise as evidenced by the quality of the\nupdated standard,\u201d CRI Director of Technical Services Richard Turner commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard was first released in 2005 and quickly utilized\nas the go-to standard on sustainability. Due to the past success, NSF 140 is\nrecognized as one of the best standards for sustainability in any industry. The\nGeneral Services Administration (GSA), the agency that handles procurement for\nthe US government, requires all products meet gold certification under NSF 140.\nSimilarly, the EPA Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) program requires\nproducts be certified NSF 140 Gold and by the Green Label Plus program, another\nANSI-certified program from CRI. NSF 140 certification also contributes points\nunder the US Green Building Council\u2019s (USGBC) LEED v4.1 program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russ Delozier, director of sustainability for Engineered\nFloors, was a representative for the carpet industry on the NSF\/ANSI 140 Joint\nCommittee. He emphasized the expertise from the manufacturing side along with\nthe academic community, procurement professionals, and others. He also\nhighlighted the importance NSF 140 serves for many stakeholders and\nsustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSpecifying a project is a complicated process, especially\nwith sustainability, and NSF 140 makes it simpler and easier for manufacturers\nand consumers with regard to sustainability,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Troy Virgo, director of sustainability for Shaw Industries and another member of the committee for NSF 140, underscored how important the multi-attribute aspect of the standard was for different stakeholder groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen it was first developed in 2005, this was one of the\nfirst multi-attribute, multi-stakeholder standard for sustainability in the\nbuilt environment,\u201d he stated. \u201cThe carpet industry\u2019s willingness to listen to\noutside stakeholders, embrace change, align with other emerging standards, and\npush for higher performance has kept the standard\u2019s requirements current and\nrelevant.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The all-round, collaborative effort from each stakeholder\ngroup cannot be understated in the work to develop this unique standard and how\nit benefits the environment and sustainability efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSustainability continues to be a priority for our industry\nand we will continue to work to create products that are environmentally\nfriendly along with promoting initiatives that create a brighter, more\nsustainable future,\u201d Joe Yarbrough said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
