Tarkett Offers Educational Sessions During the Greenbuild 2020 Virtual Event

greenbuild
November 12, 2020

When it comes to sustainability, Greenbuild International Conference & Expo is a premiere networking, learning and sourcing event – and 2020 is no exception. This year’s conference will be held virtually. Tarkett is focusing its educational sessions around a theme of “Circular by Intent,” which ties closely to Tarkett’s aspiration for a circular economy for present and future generations.

“For Tarkett, what has made the biggest impact on our environmental footprint has been following circular economy principles as our business model. By following these principles – designing out waste and pollution; keeping products and materials in use; and selecting good materials that contribute to healthy spaces– we’re designing an entire portfolio of solutions around doing good for people and the planet,” said Roxane Spears, vice president, sustainability, Tarkett North America. “Sharing our insights, we hope to have an impact on the broader industry to advance sustainability standards.”

Industry leaders from Tarkett will be participating in Greenbuild 2020 educational sessions as follows:

This session will dig into the far-reaching impacts of achieving a circular economy, including the responsibility and roles of stakeholders such as: manufacturer, contractor, specifier, municipality, and design.

Circular Economy: Can we really have dumpster diversion?

Hear from the stakeholders of a manufacturer, flooring, and General Contractor for real on-the-jobsite discussions to divert waste from the dumpster.

Panel: moderator, Roxane Spears, vice president sustainability, Tarkett North America; Russell Bennett, recycling director, Tarkett North America; Sean Ragiel, president, CarpetCycle; Geoffrey Brock, product manager, Structure Tone

Date: Thursday, November 12

Participants will discuss how a diverse group of decision makers impact a community, products, and buildings.

Panel: moderator, Roxane Spears, vice president sustainability, Tarkett North America; Blake Jackson, sustainability design leader, Stantec; Denge Agola, interiors discipline lead, SmithGroup; Diana Navarrete-Rackaukas, director of learning & interpretation, Design Museum Everywhere
