Mohawk Group’s achievements in sustainable
design and innovation. To that end, one of
Mohawk’s successes in creating sustainable
products which perform to the needs and
expectations of the commercial user is the
EcoFlex™ ICT modular tile platform
.
Constructed using the EcoFlex™ ICT recycled
content backing system in combination with a pile
fiber wear layer containing nylon Type 6, 6.6, or
Recycled Type 6, the resulting products offer
designers hundreds of style and pattern options.
Additionally, with the availability of yarn dye or
solution dye processes, color combinations are
nearly endless.

average face weight of 22 oz. per square yard,
which was the average of the annual sales. The
range of the nylon pile fiber wear layer is 14-34
(osy). Unless noted in the report, the 22 (osy) is
presented for the impacts.
