Armstrong recognizes the building industry’s impact on the environment—and the potential outcome for our communities. To ensure a healthy future, Armstrong is embracing carbon reduction as an end-to-end solution that touches every stage of the building lifecycle, from design and material selection to operational efficiency and end-of-life management.
Reducing Operational and Embodied Carbon
Optimizing the Building Lifecycle
Embodied carbon refers to greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, and end of life of building materials. Learn more about reducing embodied carbon in buildings.
Saving Energy
Operational carbon refers to the energy used to operate a building, including heating and cooling, ventilation, lighting, and more. We can minimize operational carbon output with more efficient building design and materials.
Facilitating Sustainability Goals
Sustainability standards and goals are in the foundation of modern building projects—literally. We can work side-by-side with you on LEED projects and help you meet the health and wellness goals determined by the WELL Building Standard.

Low Embodied Carbon Ceilings
Help reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment with the most sustainable, high-performance ceiling panel
TEMPLOK Energy Saving Ceilings
Introducing Templok Energy Saving Ceilings which use advanced Phase Change Material (PCM) to naturally increase thermal mass providing year-round comfort requiring less heating and cooling energy.
Ceilings Recycling Program
Armstrong Ceilings Recycling Program
Since 1999, the Armstrong Ceilings Recycling Program has been helping customers reduce waste. Watch how we’re continuing to make commercial renovation projects less wasteful in 2024.
25 Years and Over 200,000,000 Square Feet Recycled
Armstrong Ceilings Recycling Program is here to help you every step of the way from registration – to transportation – to new ceiling solutions for your project.
- The Armstrong Ceilings Recycling Program reduces construction waste and carbon emissions associated with commercial renovation projects.
- 25 years after its inception, the nation’s first ceilings recycling program has diverted more than 200 million square feet of old ceiling materials from the landfill.
- The program helps our customers meet their own waste-reduction targets, and we provide a diversion savings calculator to directly measure the resulting environmental impact and savings.
Our Sustainability Strategy
Armstrong is committed to driving positive change for a healthy world, starting with the built environment.
To meet this commitment, Armstrong’s sustainability strategy is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)—a collection of 17 interlinked global goals on a working deadline of 2030.
Our three sustainability pillars—Healthy and Circular Products, Healthy Planet, Thriving People and Communities— help us identify and address the challenges and opportunities ahead by outlining 2030 Goals and Targets. This serves as our roadmap to operationalize our sustainability initiatives into all areas of our business.
