Recycling -including post- consumer
Post-use recycling You can work towards achieving higher levels of sustainability and green building labels like LEED, WELL and BREEAM by using iQ Granit and iQ Eminent in your projects. Our innovation teams developed a unique solution to recycle phthalate- free postconsumer homogeneous vinyl flooring. Using specialist material and acustomised processes, we are able to separate and clean the vinyl material from any glue or concrete residues, creating granules that can be integrated into the production of new homogeneous flooring at our plant in Ronneby, Sweden. Our ReStart ® take-back programme saves ressources and energy to increase the level of recycling content of our product. Recycling 1m² of iQ homogeneous vinyl saves 11,8kg CO 2 eq/m 2 . The renewed iQ Granit and iQ Eminent collections are forged in the principles of the circular economy - close the loop with us to foster our sustainability impact.
Circular economy in action: in 2020 the Ikea store in Kungens Kurva underwent a significant renovation, we took back 10,000m 2 of the old floor and sent it to our factory in Ronneby to be recycled. This provided a saving of 100 tonnes of CO 2 emissions.
