Mohawk's Recycling Story Featured by Georgia Public Broadcasting

Calhoun, GA, December 8, 2020-Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) will feature Mohawk Industries’ sustainable processes, facilities and product platforms on “Live Exploration: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,” beginning this morning with a live televised broadcast that will be simultaneously streamed online. The Atlanta-based multimedia platform has been working with Mohawk and two recycling centers in Georgia to create engaging content for a “virtual field trip” that will teach students about the significance of reducing, reusing and recycling. The episode will include a special tour through Mohawk’s Summerville, Georgia plant, as well as a closer look at different “ingredients” and finished carpeting to demonstrate the full process.

The GPB Education series is aligned to Georgia standards and targets grades 3-8. Supplemental resources are also available to all grades K-12. The episode will initially air on December 8, at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on GPB stations and the GPB website. The initial broadcast includes live interactive elements, such as polls, as well as experts who will be available to answer questions submitted in advance and during the program using the hashtag #RecycleLive on Twitter. Following the broadcast, “Live Exploration: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” will be available to watch and review on-demand for free.
