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
