Closing the Loop at Interface

For the last three decades, METROPOLIS has been advocating for better spaces, buildings, and cities that make a positive impact on people and the planet.

We recently released our first-ever Metropolis x Interface Sustainable Design Report, a deep dive into the state of sustainability in American architecture and design. Our partner in this endeavor is Interface, a flooring manufacturer that has been a pioneer in transforming American manufacturing.

Since its visionary founder, Ray Anderson, challenged the industry to do better in the mid-1990s, Interface has worked to reduce its environmental impact, draw down carbon emissions, fight waste and climate change, and help accelerate the transition to a circular economy.

In this episode of Deep Green, host Avinash Rajagopal is joined by Jay Lanier, global head of market sustainability, and Mikhail Davis, director of global market sustainability, to discuss the company’s journey and its ongoing efforts around circularity.
