Mohawk Group takes a decisive step in its ongoing sustainability journey with the renewal of Rudiments, one of its most established carpet tile collections. Representing a significant share of the carpet tile collection, this update integrates the latest innovations in sustainable materials and design. By combining Thrive® Matter yarns with up to 90% recycled content and the new EcoFlex™ NXT recyclable backing, Rudiments now aligns with Mohawk Group’s vision for circular design and responsible production.
Sustainability in action and company impact
Imperfection, Relaxing Floors and Lichen Community were the first collections produced on Mohawk Group’s new secondary backing line in Moeskroen. These collections have a premium backing called EcoFlex™ One. An acoustic backing with sustainable features. Rudiments now receives the same treatment. Vanessa Van Overmeeren, General Manager Carpet Tiles, explains: “Rudiments accounts for a significant share of our product portfolio and production. By updating it with polyolefine backing and sustainable yarns, we can immediately scale our environmental impact. While some bitumen-backed versions will remain in circulation, our goal is for the new polyolefine-backed Rudiments products to take full precedence.”
Design evolution and practical integration
Rudiments builds on a proven foundation, now with a stronger focus on sustainability. Designs such as Jute, Basalt, and Teak brought options of tone-on-tone variations, Planks: Clay and Metallic Clay return in updated, commercial-friendly palettes.
Two new designs further strengthen the collection. Quartz is a calm unicolour tile that balances larger surfaces, while Tides, a 50 × 50 cm transition tile, creates a smooth colour transition between different Quartz tiles, offering a cohesive connection across spaces.
Looking ahead
The renewal of Rudiments demonstrates Mohawk Group’s holistic approach, combining technical innovation, design refinement, and sustainable materials to deliver a versatile, enduring, and environmentally responsible collection. Each update strengthens the portfolio while reflecting the collection’s baseline: a ground beneath growth – and supporting the brand ambition of well-being in every corner.
