Product Stewardship

Interface takes your used carpet tiles and puts them to good use – by making sure they get reused by charities, local businesses and others who need support. Plus our products are designed to be fully recyclable, to make new carpet tiles for the future. Nothing goes to landfill.

​

It’s part of our commitment to working in a way that’s better for the planet and everyone. For over 25 years, our pursuit of sustainability has motivated our every choice. All our products are carbon neutral and, globally, we prevent millions of metres of carpet going to landfill every year.

​

When you choose Interface, you’re helping to build a healthier planet.

Green Star

Green Star is Australasia's largest voluntary and truly holistic sustainability rating system for non-residential buildings, fit outs and communities. It is a valuable tool available to those who seek to transform our built environment. 

 

Green Star provides a rating of up to six stars based on a building's key sustainability credentials. Green Star certification is available for every commercial building type; from schools and hospitals, to office buildings, shopping centres, and industrial warehouses. It can even be used for large-scale community developments.

 

​

At Inzide we pride ourselves on supplying best-in-class products from around the world to the New Zealand market.


We have been members of the NZGBC since 2006 and strongly believe in and support the efforts of the New Zealand Green Building Council.

 

It all comes down to better places, proven.

Responsible Products Framework

The Responsible Products Program is a key initiative designed to help ensure that the materials used in the built environment are not only sustainable but also contribute positively to human health and the planet. This program is guided by the principles of responsibility, health, positivity, circularity, and leadership.

The Green Building Council of Australia assesses various initiatives that certify products used in the built environment. To receive a Responsible Product Value (RPV), an initiative must meet the minimum expectations and specific technical criteria outlined in the Responsible Products Guidelines. Once recognized, the initiative’s certified products are awarded RPVs, which can be used in Green Star projects to earn credits for responsible product use.
