A Heritage of Environmental Leadership For more than 35 years, C&A has been proud of its leadership in innovative technologies that provide functional performance and measurable environmental benefits.
C&A was the first carpet manufacturer to: - Obtain third-party certification of the recycled content for its entire line of ER3Ò modular carpet and ER3Ò six-foot structured back broadloom. - Obtain third-party certification for the recycling of its own products. - Publicly embrace and conform to the FTC Guides, national guidelines issued by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), with the cooperation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to ensure companies' green claims comply with established standards regarding recyclability, recycled content, biodegradability, etc. - Proactively provide the industry's only “No Excuses” warranty that guarantees that the products it supplies to its customers will meet the recycled content percentage certified by SCS every single time. - Proactively provide a guarantee in writing that all vinyl-backed carpet reclaimed for recycling will be recycled into new floorcoverings. No landfills, no incinerators. - Certify its product attributes (such as recycled content and VOCs) that can contribute toward earning credits in the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system. - Establish a formal program to reclaim vinyl-backedcarpet after its useful life, regardless of manufacturer, and pay the customer for it.
