What published this week
Patcraft’s new set covers its commercial mainstays. Carpet tile families on EcoWorx and StrataWorx platforms with EcoSolution Q100 and Solution Q fibers, plus resilient platforms that include PVC‑free EcoWorx Resilient in dryback and click formats, and a polymer magnesium oxide rigid tile. Program operators visible across the portfolio include UL, EPD International, IBU, and SCS Global Services. Several declarations credit Sphera, UL, EcoForm, Ecovane, or Shaw’s internal LCA team as the developer or verifier.
Family scope that matters in bids
Many of these EPDs apply to product groups, not single SKUs, which is gold for schedules. Typical scope notes include face‑weight ranges for carpet tile that span light to heavy use, and resilient families that bundle multiple thicknesses or underlayment options in one declaration. That keeps optionality high without redoing submittals when a pattern or backing shifts late in design.
Why this moves specs
When a category has product‑specific EPDs on file, teams avoid default penalties in carbon models and keep pricing conversations focused on design, durability, and lead time. More Patcraft EPDs in play means fewer last‑minute swaps to competitors with a disclosure advantage, especially on projects tracking LEED v5 materials credits where documentation readiness is table‑stakes.
Competitive lens
Interface publicly lists product‑specific EPD coverage across carpet tile and LVT, which has long set a bar for the category (Interface, 2025) (Interface EPDs). Mohawk Group’s library spans multiple carpet tile backings and LVT platforms, giving specifiers quick paths to compliant docs (Mohawk Group, 2026) (Mohawk Group EPDs). Patcraft’s batch keeps them right in that conversation on transparency depth, particularly where carpet tile and resilient are being short‑listed together. For some regional pursuits, Tarkett’s DESSO ranges also show robust EPDs, so deepening resilient coverage helps Patcraft hold serve in multi‑material packages (Tarkett, 2026).

Where to find the documents
Patcraft’s sustainability hub is the logical first stop for collateral, with EPD‑ready product platforms highlighted under Environmental Impact and Sustainability pages (Patcraft Environmental Impact, Patcraft Sustainability). We also found Patcraft EPDs hosted with program operators, for example EcoWorx Resilient listings with EPD International and LVT with SCS Global Services (EPD International entry, SCS LVT EPD). If Patcraft adds a single, searchable EPD library on its site, specifiers will find documents even faster.
Timing note for EC3 watchers
These nine EPDs were issued the week of May 2, 2026. As of May 4, some entries may still be propagating across public databases that design teams use every day. Shortening that delay is a real win for project teams who need to lock specs quickly. If your next release needs day‑zero visibility, reach out and we’ll share practical steps to streamline listing workflows.
What this signals
Patcraft’s playbook is clear. Keep carpet tile leadership through broad, family‑level coverage, grow resilient with PVC‑free options and grouped declarations that reduce submittal churn, and make documentation easy to grab. That combination turns transparency into traction, which is how products move from moodboards to material schedules. It’s a small line in a spec, but it’s a big lever in the sales funnel. Nice work on this tranparency push.
Quick context on Patcraft
Patcraft operates in commercial interiors with a portfolio centered on carpet tile, broadloom, and resilient flooring. The brand is part of Shaw Industries, so platform EPDs often support sister brands as well, yet specifiers consistently look for Patcraft‑named declarations when projects call it out. This batch helps close that loop.
What to do next
- Bookmark the Patcraft sustainability pages above for submittals.
- Tag these families in your internal spec templates so teams can drop compliant lines faster.
- If a product you love is not covered yet, flag it for the next EPD wave so momentum does not stall.
