Circularity & recycling

Our goal is to reach 0% virgin fossil raw material and to be fully recyclable. More Bio-based materials, more recycled contents & our own recycling plant are the key drivers to achieve this.

Biobased materials

Strata, Palma and Alhambra are biobased collections. This means that the compound formulation to make the PVC pellets used for the top layer contains 45% renewable plant-based carbon, replacing virgin fossil-based carbon.

Biobased carbon is derived from materials of biological origin such as plant waste. The use of biobased products leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions, toxic waste, and energy and water consumption during production processes. 

We are proud to say we achieved the prestigious TÜV OK Biobased certificate for our top weave.

Recycled
PET content

We incorporate recycled content into our products: the acoustic backing – SonoFeltTM – consists of 70% recycled PET. For every 1000 m2 of 2TEC2 flooring, we save the equivalent of 15.000 PET bottles from landfill.

100%
recyclable

2TEC2 is designed and produced to be recycled and to regenerate new 2TEC2 flooring again and again, without losing strength. After all, all materials introduced in our circular production cycle are meticulously quality-checked for composition and performance.

Recycling plant

Just a few kilometers from our production site, our new in-house recycling facility converts production waste into material of which new, strong and attractive tiles can be made. There is no change on the visual aspect, stability, performance, durability or other features of the recycled flooring.
