Fotosfera is a pioneering collection made from a yarn with 63% bio-based content. The key ingredient? Oil from the seeds of the castor bean plants.
Fast-growing castor bean plants are rapidly renewable, and grow in hot, dry climates, in sandy loam soil. Hardier than many other crops, they can thrive in land prone to erosion, and only require water once in up to 25 days.
The crops are typically harvested twice each season to maximise yield. It is the high oil content of the castor beans which is extracted and then used as the key ingredient in the further processing of the bio-based nylon. This minimises the use of petroleum- based materials in Fotosfera.

PE International case study about InterfaceRamon Arratia
PE International, the sustainability experts and leaders on LCA, have written a case study about how at Interface we use LCA as a managament tool for product design, customer transparency, sales and marketing
Resource Efficiency - The new watchword of sustainabilityRamon Arratia
There’s a growing global consensus that we’re at a crossroads on the environment. Not only do we face the increasingly urgent challenge of climate change, but we are also witnessing unprecedented demands on energy and fuel, water and material resource scarcity, huge population and life expectancy growth, concerns about food security, and a growing consumerism in the East that is putting an added strain on the global store of raw materials.
Resource productivity improvements could satisfy nearly 30% of demand by 2030.
Recent rises in global GDP and inroads into tackling poverty have largely been achieved by increasing economic growth. But the resource- dependent models that have allowed this to happen can no longer be sustained. In the past, increases in productivity have often come through more efficient use of labour, but the opportunity for further gains here is limited. To continue to make progress we need to squeeze more out of the resources at our disposal.
‘Resource efficiency’ will become the new watchword of sustainability. Accenture and the World Economic Forum recently produced a report looking at how to make consumption more sustainable by decoupling growth from environmental impact. They suggested that $2 trillion manufacturers of products that worth of economic output could be at risk by 2030 if major global economies fail to respond to shortages in the supply of just one resource - iron (and, more importantly, the steel that comes from it). This demonstrates the scale of the challenge we are up against. Accenture and the WEF conclude that ‘the need for rapid action to shift towards a resource-efficient economy is high’ - and that despite some successes to date, ‘change is now. More positively, greater resource efficiency also creates a business opportunity; it improves productivity, reduces costs and enhances competitiveness. If companies are less dependent on the availability of certain raw materials, they are less vulnerable to supply fluctuations and hikes in prices. This in turn means they can offer customers a more reliable supply of their products.
This presentation describes the paradigm shift needed for companies to move from the beauty context of corporate sustainability to the new paradigm of product sustainability, proving with facts the environmental performance of a product.
How life cycle assessment can align your starsRamon Arratia
This article describes the power of embracing LCA as the core sustainability tool. Many companies are starting to shift from corporate sustainability to product sustainability. Most of the impacts of companies are outside their own boundaries, either in the supply chain or customers.
Embracing LCA helps gives sense to supply chain management, innovation, marketing and sales, aligning all the organization on what most matters: the bigger impacts of your products.

3. Around 70% of the world’s castor
bean plants are grown in India, where
production provides interesting
socio-economic benefits to local
farmers. Castor bean plants grow
on marginal land where other crops
often struggle, providing farmers with
additional income – often fetching
revenue over ten times what it costs
to start the crop.
What’s more, unlike many other crops
for bio-based materials, castor bean
plants don’t compete with food crops,
as they can thrive on land unsuitable
for other uses.

4. Fotosfera –
excellent
performance,
as ever
Our new Fotosfera collection gives you
the same high quality performance you
expect from Interface, made for heavy
contract applications, yet it’s made out of
rapidly renewable materials.
We’ve tested these new designs to
ensure they meet our usual high
standards, and there is no compromise
in durability, appearance or all-round
performance. Fotosfera performs against
all known carpet tile standards for wear,
suitability for castor chairs, flammability,
soiling and electrostatic properties.
We believe it’s a great example of
Design with Purpose.

Structured
and Fotosfera
Micro
Fotosfera consists of two designs –
Structured and Micro – both available
in eight co-ordinating colourways.
Fotosfera Structured
The Fotosfera Structured tile features
patterned loop pile, a reliable performer
in spaces where castor chairs are
used. And with monolithic installation,
the broadloom effect is easy to create
– allowing flooring design to flow
throughout the room.
Fotosfera Micro
Fotosfera Micro’s microtuft construction
may use less yarn than conventional
tufted products, but it’s a proven
performer, combining excellent
reliability with low environmental
impact. Its modern, linear pattern and
fresh colouration create a modern feel
that enhances all contemporary spaces.

In 1994, we started our Mission Zero journey
– the ultimate commitment to a concept that
wasn’t mainstream at the time: sustainability.
Mission Zero reflects our ambition to create
positive change throughout our business, and
to lead industry by example. It is also a constant
reminder to always look for better ways of
doing things –through Design with Purpose.
Ultimately, we aim to eliminate any negative
impact we have on the environment by 2020.
A key part of Mission Zero is only using
recycled or bio based raw materials, without

great floors,
glue-free
installation
TacTiles™ is a glue-free installation system
which is included with any purchase
of Fotosfera or Biosfera.The system
reduces the environmental impacts of the
installation significantly compared to a
traditional installation. As there is no need
for liquid adhesives, TacTiles™ also create
virtually zero volatile organic compounds
(VOCs). No unpleasant odours mean better
well-being for employees. And it eliminates
the biggest source of emissions from a
carpet installation, the glue, representing
another giant step towards Mission Zero®.
TacTiles™ also make the installation fast
and easy. The carpet is ready to use
as soon as it is installed, so it’s back to
‘business as usual’ straight away. The
system also provides added flexibility,
making it much easier to lift for repairs or
repositioning, saving costs throughout
its lifecycle.

Cool Carpet
our carbon
neutral service
Fotosfera and Biosfera are part of
our Cool Carpet® programme, where
we measure the carbon footprint
throughout the lifecycle of our
carpets – then work with partner
organisations to acquire verified
carbon offsets that neutralise these
emissions. We calculate emissions not
just from the manufacturing process,
but also from raw materials, use and
maintenance, and final disposal.
Interface’s Cool Carpet® programme
is verified by SGS, a world-leading
company in inspection, verification,
testing and certification. SGS
assesses how we calculate our
emissions, and confirms they are
offset through verified emission
reduction credits.
The projects we support follow
strict standards and reduce carbon
emissions by introducing renewable
energy sources; increasing energy
efficiency; or actually removing
carbon from the atmosphere.
