What is expiring on February 1, 2027
As of June 20, 2026, the following Shaw Contract carpet‑tile EPDs show expirations on February 1, 2027. All are commercial carpet tiles under MasterFormat 09 68 00, with scope tied to face fiber and backing platform.
- EcoWorx Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q, Solution Q, or Solution Q Extreme Face Fiber.
- StrataWorx Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q, Solution Q, or Solution Q Extreme Face Fiber.
- EcoWorx Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q100 Face Fiber.
- EcoLogix Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q100 Face Fiber.
- StrataWorx Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q100 Face Fiber.
- EcoWorx Platinum Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q100 Face Fiber.
- EcoWorx BIO Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q100 Face Fiber.
- EcoLogix Carpet Tile with EcoSolution Q, Solution Q, or Solution Q Extreme Face Fiber.
These cover Shaw’s core tile platforms and fiber chemistries that specifiers know well.
Are replacements already live
For mainstream platforms, yes. Shaw has multiple product‑specific carpet‑tile EPDs issued in 2023 and 2025 that remain current beyond 2027, including EcoWorx with EcoSolution Q100 and EcoWorx with EcoSolution Q or Solution Q Extreme face fiber. There are also recent StrataWorx and EcoLogix declarations, some labeled for specific manufacturing regions, that stay valid into 2028. This means general carpet‑tile coverage is intact while older documents age out.

Where we still see potential gaps
Two variant labels do not yet show a clearly named 2023–2026 replacement in public listings: EcoWorx Platinum with EcoSolution Q100 and EcoWorx BIO with EcoSolution Q100. The broader EcoWorx platform EPDs may cover many styles, but without a like‑for‑like title match, owners and GCs sometimes ask for confirmation. If these two variants matter to your line card, start the renewal or consolidation step now to avoid last‑minute RFIs.
Will specifiers lose access to EPD data
Unlikely for the bulk of Shaw Contract’s carpet tiles. The expiring set sits next to newer, live EPDs for the same platform families, so most specifications can pivot to a current document with the same backing and fiber chemistry. The risk is limited to the niche Platinum and BIO variants noted above, where a project might ask for a product‑named declaration until a new one posts.
Competitor products specifiers may reach for if a gap appears
When a named EPD is not available, teams often default to comparable carpet tiles with current documentation.
- Interface CQuest Bio and CQuest BioX carpet tiles. Public EPDs are available and widely referenced, with easy document access on Interface’s site (Interface EPDs).
- Tarkett ethos Modular carpet tile with Dynex or ECONYL face fiber. Current EPDs are published through program operators and listed on Tarkett’s sustainability pages (Tarkett overview).
- Mohawk Group EcoFlex ONE carpet tile. Mohawk publishes product pages and press detail pointing to its latest EPD for the platform (Mohawk EcoFlex ONE).
These are like‑for‑like commercial carpet tiles that satisfy LEED v5 material transparency requirements where a current product‑specific EPD is requested.
Renewal timing and why it matters commercially
EPDs typically carry a five‑year validity period. PCRs that govern them are generally reviewed on five‑year cycles, which is why programs and manufacturers time renewals around that window (UL Solutions PCRs, 2026). UL’s program terms also state an EPD expires five years from its declaration date, which is the calendar alert to plan against (UL EPD Terms, 2024). Missing that date rarely kills a bid, but it often adds friction that slows approvals or triggers substitution.
What to do if you sell Shaw Contract today
Catalog your active styles against one current EPD that clearly matches platform and fiber, then share those document links with reps so they are never hunting mid‑bid. For Platinum and BIO variants, confirm with the sustainability team whether a platform‑level EPD fully covers them, or queue a renewal to keep named coverage continuous. That single step can save days in back‑and‑forth during a spec review.
Where to find Shaw Contract’s EPDs quickly
Shaw publishes EPD guidance and links from its sustainability pages. Start with the EPD explainer and regional document hubs, then navigate to product pages for the declaration PDFs.
- Shaw Contract EPD overview pages: EPD hub, Transparency hub, and the UK technical listing with direct EPD links for EcoWorx S, ComfortWorx, and TaskWorx (EPDs / HPDs).
- A general third‑party index many teams use is the EPD Directory, which aggregates EPDs across program operators.
Bottom line for specifiers and product managers
Most Shaw Contract carpet tiles will remain covered by current EPDs after February 1, 2027. Watch the EcoWorx Platinum and EcoWorx BIO variants, since we do not yet see a like‑titled replacement. If those SKUs are core to your pipeline, push a renewal now so your sales team can keep momentum without detours. That is the boring kind of work that definately pays off at bid time.
