Women in the Floorcovering Industry

💡 Myth busted!💡 WIFI’s Necklaces & Net Zero event at The International Surface Event (tise) in Las Vegas brought together experts to tackle some of the biggest myths around sustainability in the flooring industry. Moderated by Amy Rush-Imber, publisher and editor in chief of Floor Covering Weekly and WIFI vice chair, the panel dove into key insights that are shaping the future of sustainable flooring. Here are the highlights: 👉 Shaw Industries’ Daniel Cassidy showed how asking the right questions helps uncover what homeowners care about when it comes to eco-conscious choices. 👉 Sinclair Myers of Myers Carpet broke down why wool carpets are worth the investment in both durability and sustainability. 👉 Universal Fibers, Inc.’s M.Ranae Anderson proved carpets can be environmentally friendly. 👉 Mohawk Industries’ Malisa Maynard shared that every small sustainability effort counts and contributes to a larger impact. 👉 AHF’s Noah Chitty shared that carbon credits and offsets can be a good solution for going net-zero. What an amazing day of learning and connecting; let’s keep the momentum going.
