Tandus partnering with Carbonfund.org

Submitted by Tandus

Tandus, a floorcovering manufacturer based in Dalton, is partnering with Carbonfund.org to effectively offset the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of its products.

Working closely with Carbonfund.org, Tandus has taken a very measured approach to ensure that its CarbonFree product offerings are conducted responsibly through a third party certification process, producing meaningful results in decreasing the overall level of its GHG emissions.

Tandus recently completed a GHG inventory for its U.S.-based operations and conducted GHG Life Cycle Analyses (such as carbon foot printing) on its products. Recognizing that manufacturing processes contribute to the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, Tandus has employed a multifaceted approach to reduce the carbon footprint of its U.S.-based operations and products. From increasing its use of renewable energy to the use of waste vegetable oil to fuel its manufacturing processes, Tandus remains committed to environmental stewardship.

“Tandus is not only proud to be a part of such a forward-thinking approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but we are honored to have the opportunity to work with an organization such as Carbonfund.org that so clearly shares our visions and goals for helping to reduce our environmental footprint,” said Glen Hussmann, Tandus president and CEO.
