Notes


Interface is a large international carpet company based in the US but with an Interface New Zealand on Auckland’s North Shore. The parent company decided to use the TNS principles to guide their practices working towards a situation where their manufacturing systems go not produce waste and energy is minimized in the process. Interface New Zealand strives to conduct business using those principles.
