Renewable and Sustainable

Manufacturers are updating their product lines with renewable, plant-based materials.


Throughout the last decade, flooring manufacturers have embraced sustainability as a catalyst for reducing waste; improving manufacturing processes; and developing innovative, more environmentally friendly flooring options. As a result of these efforts to minimize environmental impact, the standard synthetic raw materials utilized in the flooring of years past are now being replaced (or used in conjunction) with unconventional, bio based plant materials, such as corn starch, soybean oil, and castor bean oil.

A better world through safe and sustainable products.
