Mohawk Again Receives EPA Green Power Partner of the Year Award

“EPA’s Green Power Leadership Award winners are raising the bar for green power purchasing,” said Kathleen Hogan, Director of EPA’s Climate Protection Partnerships Division. “Mohawk Fine Papers is leading the national transition to clean, renewable energy; they are a model for others to follow.”

Mohawk’s current annual purchase of 110 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power is enough green power to meet 113 percent of the organization’s 2008 electricity use. Mohawk purchases renewable energy certificates (RECs) from 3Degrees and Sterling Planet. In addition to its purchase of RECs, Mohawk offsets the thermal energy emissions associated with the production of its entire Beckett Concept, Beckett Expression, Strathmore Writing and Strathmore Script product lines, effectively making these papers carbon neutral within Mohawk’s manufacturing operations.
