We see our
Intelligent Flooring Solutions as part of the world’s ecological system – and
make strong efforts to ensure that all our activities are based on respect for
the environment.
All our flooring products (Vinyl, Linoleum and VisionLine)
are developed, produced and handled with a great concern for sustainability and
the environment.
We call it Environmental Intelligence, and live by this
principle in every single production step, from vision to waste.
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) The basis
for all environmental work is a life cycle perspective. We always strive to
minimise our products’ environmental effects over their entire lifetime. Several
aspects must be taken into account: raw materials, product, construction and
production, transportation, installation, cleaning and maintenance and,
ultimately, recycling and waste handling. All our development efforts and
improvement actions are based on all these aspects.
Tarkett is committed to a comprehensive LCA programme
following ISO standards that aims to:
Utilise an eco-design tool to strive towards fully
environmentally friendly products
Keep customers informed of the environmental impacts of
Tarkett’s products and processes through a regularly updated document (the EPD)
showing our commitment to continuous and substantial improvement
Allow people involved in a sustainable approach to
building (such as LEED GBC in the USA, HQE in France or BRE in the UK) to choose
appropriate products
The main criteria taken into consideration by the
LCA are:
Climate change from CO2 and other greenhouse gases
