California Gold: The Road to a Tough New Carpet Standard
Green Technology Magazine
August 22, 2006
Each year, California government agencies purchase enough carpet to cover 47 miles of four-lane freeway. By the end of August, at least four major carpet suppliers will have products that meet the rigorous demands of the new California carpet standard. Architects and contractors will be able to choose from a wide range of styles in carpet tiles and broadloom. There's no choice, however, when it comes to sustainability. As of September 1, all carpets being installed in California state buildings will have to be certified "California Gold."
