Gerflor offers environmentally friendly sports flooring made of vinyl and linoleum
Under the motto “we care / we act”, the leading manufacturer of resilient floor coverings takes a holistic view of all business processes in terms of sustainability - from plant and process engineering at all production sites in Germany and abroad to the development and market launch of new flooring solutions.
DLW Linoleum sports flooring: “Cradle to Cradle” certified
Sports floors made from DLW Linoleum, manufactured in Germany since 1882 and marketed by Gerflor under the DLW Sports brand, are particularly environmentally friendly. The multifunctional Linodur Sport and Colorette Sport linoleum floor coverings, specially developed for sports halls, consist of 98% organic or mineral raw materials, 75% of which are quickly renewable. The material also has a recycled content of up to 40% and is certified with the “Blue Angel” and “Cradle to Cradle Silver” eco-labels.
TARAFLEX and PREMIUM SPORT vinyl sports floors: Sustainably successful
Gerflor is also setting new standards in terms of sustainability for vinyl sports floors. Both the TARAFLEX collections and the new PREMIUM SPORT floor coverings are made from up to 80% bio-based, mineral and recycled materials. Soy waste from animal feed replaces fossil raw materials and thus helps to reduce CO2 emissions.
Closed material cycle
In the spirit of resource-conserving material cycles, the company has launched the “Second Life” recycling program especially for the installation trade. Gerflor partners have the opportunity to collect offcuts and have them picked up.
