Environmental Responsibility
As a leading global supplier of Luxury Vinyl Tiles, we are committed to improving our manufacturing
processes to ensure sustainability whilst delivering best value. We have always aimed to make stylish and
durable floors with the lowest possible impact on the environment, and have never had to compromise
quality or performance in order to comply with legislation or to meet environmental requirements.
Manufacturing
All of our products are 100% recyclable. Every bit of our manufacturing waste is recycled in a closed loop process. In fact, when our own
factories do not have enough waste to reuse, we buy in waste from other factories. The manufacturing process for the polymer in our
products requires significantly less energy than other plastics. Our packaging is 100% recyclable and our factories are certified to the
ISO14001 environmental standard and ISO9001 quality standard.
Post-manufacturing
In our offices, we have introduced several energy savings techniques including motion sensitive lighting, low energy bulbs and
waterless urinals. Our storage facilities use high density racking, meaning we can store more products in a smaller space, using less
energy and minimising impact. We use tailored logistics solutions to transport our products with the lowest impact on the environment.
Our adhesives are water based, solvent-free and have low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions. Between our offices and
warehouse, we recycle over 40% of our total waste every year.
