Editor's Notes
- So firstly to introduce Milliken for anyone not familiar with us
- You might know Milliken because we make carpet, and other flooring products…But we are so much more…we are a community of innovators that makes a wide range of products Including automotive products like air bags Silicone components that go into smart phones And plastic clarifiers and colorants that go into every day household items And, we also have a commercial floor covering division
- Milliken is also a leader in Safety, which we feel is one of the most sustainable practices that we can have. Last week, Milliken was recognized for the 3rd time, a winner of EHS Today’s, “America’s Safest Company” Award. As the first 3rd time winner, Milliken has been inducted into the “America’s Safest Companies Hall of Fame”.

- Milliken’s Sustainability Philosophy is based on the Triple Bottom Line. It is easy to lose sight of what Sustainability is really all about—The balance of Social, Environmental, and Economics practices. Milliken keeps this in front of our teams so we don’t lose our purpose with all of the noise in the market place. We support: People through our focus on Safety, Ethics, and Health & Wellness The Planet through support of the USGBC, International Living Future Institute, and other Green Building Standards And Profit through the products that we make with longevity, clean ingredients, and other features that support the environment and indoor air quality… We feel that Starnet supports this same Holistic view of Sustainability and are proud to be part of YOUR TEAM. Now, back to recognize the leaders in this area, we will recognize the winners of the 2018 Environmental Stewardship Award!!

- On a final note, yesterday Milliken Flooring received the very first 3rd Party Verified, Red List Free Declare Transparency Label. There are 2 years worth of details behind Milliken’s move to 3rd Party verification of our Transparency labels and it is all driven by LEED v4. So thanks again to the USGBC, we value you as neighbour and a partner on our Holistic Approach to Sustainability.
- So we use lists and list of lists to make the large system, “simpler”. But to keep things mildly complex, we don’t call our lists the same thing and their isn’t just one list. So 80,000 Chemicals in Commerce, 550 Regulatory Lists in Ariel, 5800 in LOLI Database. 128 Counties with Lists. Now add in the market based lists, and Manufacturer RSLs and we estimate somewhere between 7,500 - 10,000 lists.
- TIM STARTS - The mindful MATERIALS program was created to provide a common platform for manufacturers to clearly communicate the transparency and optimization achievements of their materials and products to the A+D Community. The mM Program is not a label or a certification, it is a curation of existing initiative and resources to establish a consolidated and consistent way for the industry to share information. Our collective goal is to enable manufacturer-provided information to inform A+D product selection. Education + Awareness
- As an example of how our WGs are industry professionals coming together…

- The program partners who participate in eth Steering Committee and Advisory Committee.
- The mindful MATERIALS Program is guided by the following principles: 1. Information should always be free. Manufacturers should not pay to provide data and A+D should not pay to use data. 2. The solution must be driven by the industry. Needs will change and solutions must respond to feedback. 3. All efforts are aimed at achieving our shared goal: enabling informed product decisions. I like to compare it to the food industry - the more consumers become educated about the best options for their health- the more the market responds and labels and discloses ingredients. Makes it simple for the consumer to choose, and drives the industry toward these decisions and education
