Design for Positive Impact - Milliken-Ontera

Milliken-Ontera, is a design-focused and commercial flooring manufacturer.

With a strong ethical culture and long-held commitments to sustainability, they are creating a better future by:
- actively participating in local communities
- developing a diverse and inclusive workplace, and
- doing their part to ensure a cleaner, more beautiful world for generations to come.

Their first recycling policy was implemented in 1900 - long before many were making efforts toward sustainability. Today they have an impressive roadmap to be zero waste to landfill by 2025 and other awesome initiatives.
