Luxury Vinyl Flooring

LUXURY VINYL FLOORING ECO CREDENTIALS

Sisu and Forbo LVT flooring are made using recycled content in the tile backing from both post-consumer and manufacturing by-product waste. Sisu uses and industry leading 20-35% recycled content in the entire makeup of the tile and Forbo uses 20% recycled content in the backing. Forbo also operates a nationwide ‘Back to the Floor’ collection scheme for clean off-cuts of their products to be recycled back into manufacturing. Collections are FREE and as landfill taxes are now £86.10 per tonne, you can make substantial savings by using their Back to the Floor recycling scheme.

Manufacturing of Forbo flooring is powered entirely by renewable energy and the production sites achieves ISO14001 certification, making Forbo products a truly low carbon choice. A closed loop manufacturing system is employed for all Sisu and Forbo products, with both post-consumer and post production off-cuts being recycled.

The boards have been engineered to last far beyond standard timber products, helping to reduce the wasteful short use and replace cycle. Additionally, as the LVT does not require treating over it’s life, no harmful chemicals are required every year to keep the floor looking great. Where possible the products have also been designed to enable them to be recycled back into usable material after their usable life.
