INTERFACE UNVEILS FOTOSFERA
(or bio) based nylon. Fotosfera consists of yarn exclusive to Interface that is made from castor plant oil produced in rural communities.
Castor oil, the main ingredient of Fotosfera, is produced from plants that are fast growing, therefore readily renewable, resilient and exceptionally low- maintenance. 70% of the world’s castor oil plants are grown in India in hot conditions
Interface is striding ahead in its Mission Zero quest with the unveiling of its first ever truly commercial carpet tile made from plant

where they require water as little as once in up to 25 days. Crucially, the plants are an important source of additional income for rural
farmers, often fetching revenue over ten times what it costs to start the crop.
“Fotosfera is a breakthrough product innovation for Interface.”
Also, unlike many other crops for bio-based materials, castor oil plants grow in land unsuitable for other uses such as for food production, in areas prone to erosion acting as an excellent soil stabiliser. Nigel Stansfield, Chief Innovations Officer for Interface, commented: It has the good looks and high performance customers expect from our carpet tiles, but with 63% bio-based yarn content, Fotosfera accelerates our Mission Zero aim to eradicate our use of virgin
petro- chemical raw materials in our products by 2020 whilst providing sustainable business opportunities for rural farmers. This is early days but it’s a compelling proof of us pushing the boundaries of what is possible – continually innovating in order to meet our customers’ demands for ever more sustainable products.”
Fotosfera comes in two designs, Structured and Micro, which are both available in eight colourways. The product also comes with the Cool Carpet carbon neutral service and the glue-less installation method, TacTiles, as standard.
