Our 7 Step Process

Polyflor embraces technological enhancements whilst producing functional and aesthetic products which will perform for years to come. Embracing the circular economy from the outset, to minimise waste, is also crucial.

Polyflor floor coverings contain a combination of ingredients which are clean, REACH compliant, sustainable, and recycled. The materials we use in our flooring are responsibly sourced and audited for our BES 6001 certification

Our flooring is energy efficient to manufacture and minimises environmental impact and carbon emissions. We apply ‘The 3 Rs’ as we look to continuously reduce, recycle and reuse resources. Our use of renewable energy has also increased dramatically.

We are responsible within the supply chain, and our floor coverings are distributed efficiently through our own well managed fleet and distribution network. We recognise social and environmental impacts of all transportation, therefore adopting appropriate strategies to minimise our carbon footprint.

Polyflor is reducing environmental impacts associated with installation through healthier adhesives, adhesive-free installation and promoting correct installation for a long-lasting, well performing vinyl floor covering.

Accounting for a significant part of our flooring’s environmental impact, the in use phase is an important element of the life cycle, given the typical 20-25 year lifespan of most of our products. Low maintenance and low VOC, our floor coverings are fit for purpose without compromising on the environment.

We have been recycling our post-production waste vinyl since the 1950s and now collect and recycle post-consumer waste vinyl too. Many of our floor coverings can be reused, but if not, they are all 100% recyclable through the Recofloor take back scheme or other initiatives and outlets.
