Monday, April 22, 2024

[Calhoun, Ga.] While Mohawk prioritizes the Earth every day of the year, according to the company, Earth Day provides a chance to highlight its commitment to planet-friendly flooring products and initiatives such as PureTech and the “Live Pure” campaign.

“With a focus on spreading awareness of not only PureTech’s sustainable and performance attributes but also the fight against ocean plastic in collaboration with Plastic Bank, ‘Live Pure’ will help our retail partners drive traffic in store and increase leads,” said Kelli Widdifield, Mohawk’s senior vice president of marketing. “Earth Day is the perfect time for retailers to activate the campaign to reach new customers who want to know the good they do for their home is good for the planet too.”

Introduced in 2023, PureTech is PVC-free and made with a renewable, organic core that is better for the planet. Tagged as Renewable Polymer Core, or RPC, PureTech features WetProtect with a lifetime surface and subfloor waterproof warranty. Additionally, it is three times more scratch resistant and backed by a no-hassle pet scratch warranty, according to the company. Crafted with premium embossing and a beveled and painted edge, PureTech’s ultra-realistic finish embodies natural hardwood at comparable market pricing.

In partnership with Plastic Bank, every PureTech purchase helps stop plastic from entering the ocean. According to the companies, Mohawk and Plastic Bank will collectively stop over 1 million pounds of plastic from entering the ocean this year.
