Milliken Secures Cradle to Cradle Silver Version 5.0 Certification

The certification process evaluates products across multiple pillars, including clean air, climate protection, water and soil health, and social fairness. By achieving this status, Milliken aims to simplify the selection process for building owners who increasingly navigate complex sustainability criteria. The move aligns with the firm’s long-standing strategy of integrating material science with product performance.

Allie Bruski, Vice President of Product Marketing, noted that the designation offers professional specifiers confidence in the supply chain and environmental impact of their flooring choices. Beyond sustainability metrics, the company maintains its focus on occupant comfort, durability, and acoustic performance through its signature cushion-backed platforms. Dale Kitchen, Director of Research and Development, emphasized that the certification reflects years of internal efforts to embed circular design principles directly into the manufacturing cycle.
