Loop pile construction

Carpet tiles with a standard loop pile construction are designed to maintain their good looks in the most demanding heavy traffic areas of buildings such as and reception areas.

EPD & Labels

100% transparency in the EPD

To prove the eco-friendliness of our carpet tile products, Forbo uses several assessments. The first is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) technique resulting in an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). This declaration, which is transparent and third-party verified, is based on a technique to assess environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product's life from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, to ultimate disposal or recycling.

This technique takes all the following aspects into account: environmental impact of raw material acquisition, energy use and efficiency, content of materials and chemical substances, emissions to air, soil and water and waste generation.

Sustainability

Minimising environmental impact

We embrace the challenge of sustainability by continually improving our carpet ranges and production processes to minimise environmental impact.

Our sustainability improvements for all Tessera collections include:
• Increasing recycled content
By challenging the way tufted carpet tiles are made, all Tessera carpet tiles contain at least 60% recycled content. For some ranges, this percentage is even higher due to the use of yarn regenerated from recycled material.
• Only using renewable energy
The energy used to produce Tessera carpet tiles is from 100% renewable sources such as wind and biogas, ensuring zero carbon impact during the manufacturing process.
• Helping to reduce waste
Typical broadloom flooring solutions will produce around 8% installation waste. Modular flooring, like our Tessera ranges, will reduce this by around 50%, to 4%. Our random lay ranges reduce waste further again to 2% - reducing waste, reducing impacts & costs.
• Lower embodied carbon emissions
Our steps to reduce environmental impact ultimately help reduce the level of embodied carbon included in all of our products and we are continually looking for areas where improvements can be made without compromising product quality and durability, or resorting to carbon offsets.
