Green Squared® is the tile industry’s standard for sustainability. Green Squared® involves one industry, one standard, and one mark and covers the gamut of products used in tile installation. As the first multi-attribute sustainability standard developed for tiles and tile installation materials, Green Squared® uses the transparency and consensus of the ANSI process combined with third party certification to evaluate, validate, and communicate products which have a positive impact on the environment and society.

Green Squared® covers product characteristics, manufacturing, end of product life management, progressive corporate governance, and innovation in an effort to establish sustainability criteria for products throughout their full lifecycle.

Crossville is proud to say we’re an early adopter to this standard, and that all of our Tennessee manufactured products are Green Squared® certified by SCS Laboratories.
