Bloomsburg Carpet Ind.: products and EPD coverage

Who Bloomsburg is

Bloomsburg Carpet Industries is a U.S. manufacturer based in Pennsylvania with in‑house weaving and design across hospitality, commercial, and residential lines. They emphasize craft and heritage, and maintain a visible sustainability stance you can browse on their site (Sustainability at Bloomsburg).

What they make

Core constructions include Axminster, Velvet, Wilton, and Loc‑Weave, with face fibers in 100 percent wool, 80–20 wool nylon blends, and solution‑dyed nylon. Product types align to common spec categories for carpeting in both sheet and tile formats, with Bloomsburg also marketing under Silver Creek and Tuva Bloomsburg for certain segments (BuildingClean, 2025).

How wide is the range

The live catalog presents many collections and colorways across those weave structures, easily in the dozens of active SKUs when counted at the style level, and far higher when color and width are included. You can see the breadth from representative product pages like Royal Edition Axminster and Caravan Tweed, among others (Bloomsburg site, 2025).

EPD coverage at a glance

Bloomsburg publishes product EPDs that map to their main constructions. Publicly listed groupings include Axminster 80 percent wool 20 percent nylon, 100 percent wool with synthetic backing, 100 percent wool with jute backing, and 100 percent nylon with synthetic backing. These are program‑operator verified Type III declarations suitable for LEED documentation (Bloomsburg EPD resources, 2025). (Bloomsburg EPD resources, 2025)

A note on recency and scope

Bloomsburg states that the posted EPDs do not yet reflect the mill’s on‑site solar installation, so numbers may be conservative relative to current operations. If a project is timing‑sensitive, confirm whether an updated EPD is pending before submittals (Bloomsburg EPD resources, 2025). (Bloomsburg EPD resources, 2025)

Likely gaps to watch

Coverage appears strong for woven broadloom families. For niche or made‑to‑order items, or specific tufted residential styles, you may still need help mapping the SKU to the right grouping declaration. If an interior designer asks for a product‑specific PDF and you cannot immediately match it, route the request to the team named on Bloomsburg’s resource page so the right EPD is referenced. That prevents last‑minute substitutions.

Who they meet in the spec arena

On hospitality and commercial projects, Bloomsburg competes with Interface, Shaw Contract, Mohawk Group, Tarkett, Milliken, Bentley Mills, plus woven specialists like Brintons and Ulster. Interface publicly states that virtually all standard products have product‑specific EPDs, which sets a high baseline in tile‑heavy office and education specs (Interface, 2025). (Interface EPDs, 2025)

Why EPDs matter commercially in 2025

LEED still rewards teams that document with EPDs. Under LEED v4.1, the MR credit for Environmental Product Declarations contributes up to two points using product‑specific Type III EPDs from multiple manufacturers. LEED v5 was ratified on March 28, 2025, and continues the emphasis on transparent product data, so being EPD‑ready protects specability as rating systems evolve (USGBC, 2025). (USGBC MR EPD v4.1, 2025) (USGBC LEED v5, 2025)

If a best seller lacks a match today

When a designer cannot find a clear EPD for a popular Bloomsburg style, they often pivot to a carpet tile with a readily downloadable EPD from Interface or another national brand. That is avoidable. Maintain a SKU‑to‑EPD crosswalk and host the PDFs in one place, then train reps to pull the correct grouping declaration in seconds. It sounds simple, but it is definately the difference between staying in a spec and getting swapped.

Fast track to fuller coverage

Prioritize declarations that cover the highest‑volume woven styles used in office, hospitality, and higher education. Confirm the current PCR and program operator you plan to use, and align to what competitors in the bid set publish to stay apples to apples. When operations change materially, for example on‑site solar, plan the next renewal so the documented footprint reflects the improvement.

Bottom line

Bloomsburg is not a niche boutique, it is a woven specialist with a broad catalog and public EPDs that already map to the main constructions buyers request. Close any remaining SKU mapping gaps, keep declarations current as the plant’s energy profile improves, and you will reduce friction at the exact moment a project team is deciding what to keep in the spec.
