We Care We Act: Design choices for a sustainable future

Our permanent focus is to reduce the environmental footprint of our products at each step of their lifecycle. Our engineers follow a structured eco-design approach and aim for maximum circularity.

Sustainability

Carbon footprint

All Gerflor products undergo a detailed life cycle assessment. Third-party verified EPDs are available on all Creation products.
Our French LVT factory is powered with 100% renewable electricity and has been designed to reduce energy consumption thanks to a patented gravitational process
Gerflor Creation products are produced in ISO14001 (environment) and ISO 50001 (energy) certified factories.

Circularity

Vinyl is 100% recyclable. In many countries, Gerflor offers a free recycling scheme for installation waste and end-of-life products.
Recovered products are carefully screened before being transformed into new raw materials and reused into new floorings.

We recommend adhesive-free solutions when possible : they make recycling easier and more efficient.

Creation products include high recycled content. Recycled vinyl has a carbon footprint up to 17 times lower than virgin materials.
All our recycled materials are strictly controlled and REACH-compliant.

Health and safety

Because millions of people walk on our floorings everyday in houses, schools, offices or public buildings, we take our responsibility very seriously in terms of health and safety.
We set for every product the highest standards in terms of ingredients, quality and hygiene.
Creation is 100% REACH-compliant, phthalate-free* and formaldehyde-free. It offers best-in-class indoor air quality, with TVOC below 10 micrograms/m3, 100 times lower than legal requirements.

Our surface treatment guarantees optimal hygiene year after year.
