Celebrate Earth Day with Materials that Matter

Better materials make a better world. Mohawk is proud to champion sustainable papermaking - creating fiber‑based alternatives that help reduce plastic use and support a healthier planet.

Earth Day is more than a date on the calendar - it’s a reminder that every choice we make as manufacturers, printers, and designers shapes the world we share. At Mohawk, we’re proud to stand with you in choosing materials that move us all toward a more sustainable future.

For nearly 100 years, Mohawk has led the way with responsible paper manufacturing. From our FSC® certified papers to high‑PCW options that keep valuable fiber in circulation, sustainability isn’t an initiative for us, it’s a foundation.

This year, we’re celebrating Earth Day by spotlighting the innovations that continue to push our industry forward:

Green‑e Certified Renewable Energy We’ve been investing in renewable energy for more than two decades, helping reduce the environmental impact of every sheet you print.

High‑PCW Our commitment to post‑consumer waste supports responsible material recovery.

Alternative Fiber Innovation With Mohawk Renewal, we’re transforming rapidly renewable fibers like hemp and Miscanthus into beautiful, high‑performance papers - proving that great design and responsible sourcing can coexist.

Paper as a Plastic Replacement We’re helping brands shift toward fiber‑based solutions that reduce reliance on single‑use plastics.

This Earth Day, let’s continue creating work that not only looks good, but does good.

Together, we can design a more sustainable future.
