Creating better environments
Our Forbo Flooring Systems tagline - creating better environments - expresses our awareness, commitment and efforts towards sustainability. For our Modul'up floors, we have taken concrete steps to be as durable as possible.
Durable production
• Controlled supply chain certification – ISO 14001 and 9001 standards and SA8000 for ethical supply chain.
• Modul'up production is dedicated to the concept of zero waste. 100% of production waste is reused within Forbo Flooring.
• Maximized use of recycled content in all products, Modul'up contains up to 20% recycled content and actual content is published in our EPD.
• Back to the floor – returned floors can be recycled to close the material loop.
• Loose lay Modul'up floors are easy to install and remove, enabling a smooth recycling process.
• Modul'up can be reused in its entirety, making it 100% suitable for circular use.
• Modul'up is produced in an environment where substantial reductions of CO2 have been achieved and where additional improvements are planned.
Long lasting & healthy floor
• Modul'up has a product lifetime that surpasses that of ordinary vinyl flooring.
• Modul'up is 100% phthalate free.
• Modul'up floors have very low product emissions.
• Only 100% safe and traceable REACH compliant materials are used.
Forbo uses Life Cycle Assessments to identify and continuously improve the environmental performance of our floors. Our independently verified Environmental Product Declarations provide a framework for measuring a building’s environmental footprint and give you the information you need to make a sustainable decision.
