While the number of flooring companies was noticeably down at this year’s Greenbuild in New Orleans it was still clearly evident the industry as a whole remains a leader in this area.
Whether it came from the flooring and sponsorship of the Greenbuild LivingHome to being included in what was called the world’s first “Net Zero Zone” to the fact the chairman of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the organization that started Greenbuild more than a dozen years ago and is the creator of LEED, the most widely used green rating system in the world, comes from a carpet company, the industry showed no signs of taking a back seat in helping to make the world a more sustainable place.
