What is expiring in February 2027
The following Philadelphia Commercial carpet‑tile EPDs list a validity date of February 1, 2027:
- EcoWorx Carpet Tile Walk‑Off Mat with PET face fiber.
- EcoLogix Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q100 face fiber.
- StrataWorx Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q, Solution Q or Solution Q Extreme face fiber.
- EcoLogix Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q, Solution Q or Solution Q Extreme face fiber.
- EcoWorx Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q, Solution Q or Solution Q Extreme face fiber.
- StrataWorx Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q100 face fiber.
These cover multiple backing systems and face‑fiber combinations under MasterFormat 09 68 00. If any of these lapse, specifiers may lose product‑specific EPD documentation for those exact constructions on February 1, 2027.
Are replacements already in place
One of the flagship SKUs is covered. An EcoWorx carpet‑tile EPD for nylon face fibers is already current well beyond 2027, keeping that platform visible in specifications through mid‑2028.
For the walk‑off mat with PET, the EcoLogix Q100 constructions, and the StrataWorx listings, we did not find a newer program‑operator record that clearly supersedes the February 2027 set as of June 20, 2026. That suggests a renewal gap could open for those specific constructions unless updated declarations are queued.

Where specifiers might pivot if a gap appears
When a product’s EPD is out of date, many project teams default to competitors with current documents because carbon accounting becomes simpler. In the carpet‑tile lane, likely alternates include:
- Interface CQuest Bio or ReadyBac modular carpet tiles with current product‑specific EPDs.
- Mohawk Group EcoFlex ONE or EcoFlex AIR carpet tiles with current EPDs across common yarn weights.
- Tarkett ethos Modular with Dynex or with ECONYL face fiber, both carrying current EPDs.
These are comparable modular platforms in 09 68 00, so they naturally rise on shortlists when documentation is current.
Timeline math that matters
Program operators set EPD validity at five years. Renewals keep the same product continuously qualified for specs that require a verified declaration, removing doubt for owners and GCs. The five‑year rule is documented by leading operators and the International EPD System, which also calls for annual internal follow up during the validity period (EPD International, 2025) and service terms that define a five‑year initial term with renewal thereafter (UL Solutions, 2025).
Business impact for flooring manufacturers
When EPDs lapse, sales teams often self‑select out of EPD‑required bids, which quietly shrinks the top of the funnel. Fresh declarations put the product back into easy‑mode for submittals and push back against price‑only substitutions. That’s avoidable with a clear renewal plan and tight data wrangling, not heroics on a Friday afternooon.
Quick checks and sources for specifiers
Philadelphia Commercial hosts EPD and disclosure links on its site. Helpful starting points:
- LEED resources that note EPD availability for carpet and select resilient products at Philadelphia Commercial’s sustainability hub (Philadelphia Commercial LEED page).
- A company page that aggregates carpet EPDs and composition disclosures for Philadelphia Commercial on Shaw’s domain (Shaw Inc. listing).
- An example resilient EPD hosted by SCS Global Services for Philadelphia Commercial LVT, which remains current into 2028 (SCS PDF).
- Background on Philadelphia Commercial’s recent wave of new declarations that broadened coverage across platforms, useful context if you are verifying scope against current specs (EPD Guide, 2026).
Renewal playbook highlights
Two moves keep momentum:
- Lock the reference year and data sources now for the PET walk‑off mat, EcoLogix Q100, and StrataWorx constructions. That shortens verification and reduces surprises when utilities or formulations changed mid‑cycle.
- Confirm which PCR revision competitors follow in carpet tile and align where appropriate. Using the common rulebook improves comparability and confidence with reviewers.
What to watch before February 1, 2027
Track operator portals for any newly posted replacements and update bid boilerplates accordingly. If a renewal posts for EcoLogix or StrataWorx, capture the new declaration number and validity window in submittal templates the same week. If not, plan alternates early so project teams are not forced into last‑minute substitutions that derail design intent.
Bottom line for spec readiness
Philadelphia Commercial keeps one major EcoWorx tile line covered into 2028, yet five carpet‑tile EPDs point to a February 1, 2027 gap. Renewal work on those specific constructions is the difference between smooth submittals and unnecessary friction in LEED v5‑minded projects. A small sprint now protects a lot of downstream selling time.
