Enviromental Responsibility
Here at Karndean, we fi nd our inspiration in the beauty of the natural world and feel passionate about bringing this into
every product we create, and in order to keep our environment protected we do everything we can to continuously
improve our manufacturing processes to ensure sustainability and best value. We've always aimed to make stylish and
practical fl oorcoverings with the lowest possible impact on the environment, and have never had to compromise on quality
or performance in order to do so.
All of our products are manufactured in factories certifi ed to ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 9001 Quality
Management international standards. Our approach is based on the use of recycled materials in our products and ensuring
that the fi nished product is also 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 use, we buy in waste from other factories. The manufacturing
polymer used in our products also requires signifi cantly less energy than other plastics.
GreenStar GreenTag™ Certifi ed
For additional peace of mind, our designfl ooring products are fully certifi ed to Global GreenTag, which means that
virtually all of our tiles and planks have been independently assessed and certifi ed to contribute EcoPOINTS towards
GreenStar building projects.
Assessment is based on a life cycle approach and ensures compliance with low omitting volatile organic compounds (VOC)
and indoor environmental air quality.
