  • what is mission zerocorridor?

    we are a collection of minds working together to discover and create the interstate highway of tomorrow

    the site: the ray c. anderson memorial highway exits 2-18; interstate 85 troup county, georgia

  • understandingthe context

  • ...Business and industry--not

    just American business and

    industry, but global business

    and industry must change their

    ways to survive....I make no

    claim to prescience, only to

    conviction. And, by survive, I

    do not mean maintain identity

    and integrity within the context

    of financial system meltdown,

    either. By survive, I mean

    business must be steered

    through a transition from an old

    and dangerously dysfunctional

    model to a far better one that

    will operate in balance and

    harmony with nature--thrive in a

    carbon constrained world, and

    put down the threats of global

    climate disruption, species

    extinction, resource depletion,

    and environmental degradation.

    In a word, develop a business

    model that is sustainable.

    RAY C. ANDERSON

  • in 1973, ray c. anderson founded the first american carpet tile company, interface, inc.

    in 1994, ray became environmentally

    enlightened.

    AFTER RAY

    2011 Ray Anderson

    passed away from cancer. He did not

    get to see the full fruition of his third

    child, Interface, Inc., reaching Mission Zero.

    Rays family went to the Georgia Conservancy with an idea to make the Ray C. Anderson Memorial Interstate Highway have zero environmental impact and embody his legacy.

    2012Ray C. Anderson Foundation established to embody shared values and legacy that he left behind.

    1973After working for Miliken for approximately 14 years, Ray resigned and began a partnership with

    1966The psychological journey toward entrepreneurship for Ray begins. The will for independence in his career spurs from being passed for a promotion.

    1969Ray is first exposed to carpet tiles. He fell in love with the idea and realized the necessity of the modular tiles in office design.

    2009Confessions of a Radical Industrialist is published chronicling Rays journey up to and in the process of Mission Zero.

    1998Mid-Course Correction is published chronicling Rays journey up to establishing a sustain-able company.

    1978Interface sales

    reach $11 million dollars.

    1983Interface

    goes corporate, expanding

    their market.

    1987After Interface, Inc. acquired Heuga Holdings B.V., it became the worlds leader in carpet tiles.

    1956Ray Graduates from

    Georgia Tech in highest honors with a bachelors

    degree in industrial engineering.

  • what is interface doing for the environment?

    interface, my third child, was an integral part to the problems of the industrial system. i read it and wept. -ray c. anderson

    implementing a task force to address the environmental questions put forth by customers, and finding answers that are not merely compliance

    business is the problem and it must be part of the solution. -paul hawken

    29 reindeerhoused by the coast guard for an emergency food resource.

    6000 reindeer had developed, taking over the island.

    42 reindeer remained, as the island couldnt sustain the population.

    the reindeer study in the ecology of

    commerce was the spear in

    the chestmoment for ray.

    st. matthew island in the bering sea

  • pastearth is covered in lush, energy rich environments that are essential to maintaining all forms of life.

    present the industrial revolution influences a maJor, continuous increase in the use of natural resources, eXtinction of plants & animals as well as natural environments.

    future earth devoid of vital resources leads to severe change in the earths climate, habitats, and ability to sustain life; thus, leading to a decline in population due to a lack of resources.

    ray saw the st. matthews

    story as a metaphor for

    how industry is impacting our environment;

    what it could mean for us &

    tomorrows child.

  • mission zero 2020 was established to direct interface toward anet zero impact on the environment.

    Mission Zero stresses a closed loop system that maintains productivity while replenishing the resources used without damage to the environment. Mission Zero is divided into 7 separate efforts.

    zero waste

    Benign emissions

    efficiency + renewaBles

    closed-loop recycling

    resource-efficient transport

    sensitivity hookup

    redesign commerce

    Anderson defined waste as any cost that doesnt improve value, including misdirected orders and bad debts.

    Anderson defined stakeholders broadly. He aimed to sensitize both customers and employees.

    Anderson wanted to redesign commerce, whether by changing his own company, his contractors and suppliers, or other businesses.

    Anderson said increasing efficiency is like lightening your backpack for the climb up the mountain.

    Plants should function like plants; Interface imitated natures way of turning waste into useful material.

    For Interface this meant commuting logistics, plant siting, and working with truckers.

    The goal is to release increasingly benign emissions, working up the supply chain.

  • understanding thehighway context

  • highways are a tool of connectivity.they were conceived of and have been designed to connect people and goods to places that are geographically disconnected, over long distances. highways lace our countryand the world.

  • highways everywhere are emBedded in local social and ecological frameworks. they slice cleanly through these systems, creating divisions and negatively impacting the people and places they encounter.

  • for mission zero corridor, the ecological layer is charted Based on all watersheds into which the highway drains.

    understanding the ecological frameworkdefined by the geography of water and the ecosystems it creates.

  • understanding the ecological frameworkdefined by the geography of water and the ecosystems it creates.

    for mission zero corridor, the watersheds form the Basis for vegetation and haBitat zones.

  • for mission zero corridor, the social layer includes west point, la grange, troup county and the many industries that rely on the highway for their existence.

    understanding the social frameworkdefined by the communities and economies, both present and future, which exist along the highway.

    The highway of the future will not only reverse pollution, but will make the world a cleaner, more beautiful place.

    The highway of the future will not only instill moral awareness, but empower people to be symbiotic with our environment.

    The highway of the future will not only restore degraded ecosystems, but create new and improved habitats.

    The highway of the future will not only reduce the number of fatalaties associated with them, but become the safest mode of tranpsportation.

    The highway of the future will not only reconnect communities, it will become a new venue for social interaction.

    The highway of the future will not only save resources, but generate new resources.

    8% higher chance of heart disease with constant 70 dBa exposure

    $11.5 Billion spent on litter aBatement in the us annually

    5.5 Billion hours lost in the us due to traffic delays annually

    $37.6 million worth of fuel is spent in our 16 mile stretch of highway annually

    $105 million to add another traffic lane to our 16 mile stretch of highway

    $29 Billion spent By the us in road maintenance during 2011

    93% of all energy used in transportation is provided fossil fuels

    energy & materialsHighways squander natural resources through over utilization of non-renewable sources of energy.

    67% of all oil consumed By the us is in the transportation sector

    3.2% of the total us petroleum consumption is used in georgia

    9.4 million gallons of fuel are Burned on our 16 mile highway annually

  • the highway of the future will not only save resources, it will generate new resources.

    For most species (excluding those with flight), roads act as barriers to

    animal movement. Some habitats are rendered inaccessible while other

    species have populations that grow increasingly isolated.

    Traffic causes the deaths of many animals, whether they live in nearby habitats or are attempting to migrate.

    As the roads increase in size and traffic, the number of animal fatalities

    increases.
