Webinar SELECTING SUSTAINABLE FLOORING
Webinar How to select truly sustainable flooring
The sustainability profile of a flooring product is becoming an increasingly decisive factor for building owners and architects when choosing a floor covering. A product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a proven way of determining the environmental performance of products, aimed at the impacts of the complete life cycle of a product on many criteria; from the raw material extraction to the end of its useful life.
In our newest webinar, Amanda Fisher, Business Development Manager at UL presents the role of programme operator and why it is important in an EPD certification. Edo Rem, Director of Global Marketing at Forbo Flooring Systems, explains what is important and what to look for when selecting a truly ‘green’ floor. They will discuss how UL certifies that all information in LCAs and the finished EPD is true and accurate and why Forbo Flooring has taken this up a notch by adding health declarations to each EPD.
