You Won’t Believe What this Sea Turtle Center is Made of!

In celebration of sea turtle nesting season, we’re excited to share our partnership with the Georgia Sea Turtle Center in Jekyll Island, Ga!

The Georgia Sea Turtle Center is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sea turtles, which are one of the most impacted marine animals when it comes to ocean plastic. That’s why, when it came time to select flooring to install at the center, Mohawk’s SolidTech R was the perfect fit.

“At Mohawk, we’ve embraced a Culture of Care. That’s care of people, care of place and care of planet, and that extends into virtually all aspects of our business operations,” said Kelli Widdifeild, VP of Marketing. “We’ve been focused on the plastic crisis for many years, and we’re currently recycling over 6 billion single-use plastic bottles into flooring products every year. We saw an opportunity to reach out to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center and work with a cause that is right here in our own backyard.”

Mohawk’s SolidTech R flooring is a sustainable, high-performance solution that replaces all PVC with 100% recycled, single-use plastic. Each square foot of SolidTech R contains the equivalent of 20 recycled water bottles, helping keep plastic out of the environment!
