Strong floors Small footprint

Powered by the wind

A third of the energy that powers our factory comes from wind turbines. And that’s a lot. It equals the energy of more than 20 000 households. And our search for new green energy sources continues.

Cooled down by the river

When it comes to smart green solutions, we simply go with the flow. The river Scheldt’s flow, to be specific. We use an innovative closed circuit that pumps river water and cools down the factory machines. That’s how we save a maximum amount of energy.

Recycled materials

Our floors are fully recyclable and made with recycled materials of verified origin. Next to that, we only work with eco-friendly packaging solutions. And simply use less of it altogether.

Minimal waste

Anything we don’t use, we reuse. PVC waste from the production process always comes back to the circuit.

Clean inks and coatings

To print our patterns and designs, we only use Reach approved raw materials and water-based instead of solvent-based ink. The same goes for the protective layer. This way, the air in your home stays clean and fresh. And it helps us cut down the overall carbon footprint of our products.

To us, sustainability starts off with making our floors in Belgium. So we can keep a close eye on the production process and have full control over all raw materials. But that’s only the beginning of the story. We are taking concrete actions to reduce our environmental impact by 2040. No empty statements, we just take action based on science-based facts to deliver our sustainability promise.
