To create a material around the principles of sustainability, the entire product life cycle is taken into account.
Begin with good materials: Our materials are created with the health and sustainability standards of the Cradle to Cradle ® principles. This means investing in materials with green credentials that actively contribute to healthier environments. iQ Granit and iQ Eminent use phthalate free plasticisers, do not contain biocides and emit extremely low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for indoor air quality. Their impact on health have been independently assessed by an external laboratory named EPEA and the results are available in MHSs (Material Health Statements). They show not to pose any health concern. Moreover, the physical construction of our products and their maintenance enable a lengthened
lifespan. Those are key factors in moving towards a sustainable future. Our environmental and ethical standpoints are fully outlined in our EPDs (Environmental Product Declaration).
Sustainable production: One key area of focus is making our manufacturing processes as carbon efficient as possible. Our iQ Granit and iQ Eminent are produced in our Ronneby plant where 100% of the energy consumption comes from renewable energies. Our production works with 99,5% in close loop for water and generates 0% waste to landfill. The plant is also certified ISO14001 (Environement) and 500001 (Energy). Recycle: Recycling is one of the cornerstones of our circular economy initiatives as we are committed to reducing our impact on a resource level. iQ Granit and iQ Eminent already contain an average of 25% recycled content. Our aim is to take that to 30% on all our products by 2030. To achieve this goal, we’re using a complete recycling scheme where production, installation and post-use floorings are taken back into production to make new floors.
