Inspiration & SUSTAINABILITY
Transcript of Inspiration & SUSTAINABILITY
Just imagine a fl oor covering that is made from natural material, from plants and trees that grow and renew, often in a period of just 12 months’ time… With Marmoleum, this is exactly the case.
Linseed oil from the seeds of the fl ax plant, f bres from jute stems, rosin from pine trees and upcycled wood residues from controlled sustainable forestry as
well as limestone and pigments, are the key materials from which Marmoleum is created. Resulting in a natural fl oor covering and thus creating a perfect sustainable circle. Together they provide us the basis for a strong, durable and sustainable fl oor covering that forms a unique product category in the worldof resilient fl oor covering.
Marmoleum, made by nature
CO2 neutral
CO₂ absorptionthrough raw material
CO₂ emission in themanufacturing process
CO₂ neutralMarmoleum*
The natural raw materials used for making Marmoleum take up large amounts of CO₂ during their lifetime.
This is a cycle in nature that repeats itselfyear on year.
The CO₂ emissions from the production process are lower than the CO₂which has been absorbed by the raw materials that are being used.
Forbo’s Marmoleum production is running on green electricity andvirgin production waste is recycled back into the product.
* Every square meter of Marmoleum has a reduction in CO₂ contribution to the environment. For verif cation see Forbo Flooring Systems’ Marmoleum

CO2 neutral
In addition to being a natural product, the Marmoleum product range is also CO2 neutral (from cradle to gate). The living plants from which the raw material for making Marmoleum is taken, absorb a considerable amount of CO₂ from the atmosphere during their lifetime. Marmoleum is CO2 neutral!
Our claim can be verified in the Marmoleum (2.0 and 2.5 mm sheet) Environmental Product Declarations (EPD’s) which are third party verified. Marmoleum does not add any CO₂ to the planet when leaving the factory and also scores very well when evaluating the complete lifecycle and as such is really creating a better environment. At Forbo we care about creating better environments. Our aim is to deliver products that are good for your health and good for people in all respects.
We create safe, hygienic and beautiful floors that complement the quality and comfort of your indoor environment.
A special bonus for the environment

nuances of color. We created a modern range of almost uni

truly environment-friendly addition to the Solid collection.
By adding upcycled cocoa shell material to the traditional
Marmoleum ingredients, we have created an innovation in
texture, aesthetics and circular design. The result is a new
and exciting surface texture that is both natural looking and
contemporary in feel.
Slate

introduces a unique embossed surface that adds a new
dimension to our Marmoleum flooring. The result is a surface
that has the timeless aesthetic of stone with the warmth and
purity of linoleum.

colors. The organic linear structure gives your floor a natural,
homely feel. Check our website for full details:

naturalness of linoleum.

Signs & Symbols
Decorative flooring can be functional as well as beautiful. Think of
routing signs at floor level in hospitals or museums. Or zoning to
identify different areas of a building. Signs and Symbols help people
to fnd their way around or recognize the purpose of the space they
are in. We have created a standard set of signs and symbols for our
Marmoleum floors, but feel free to ask us for custom designs.

Floor planner you can see how your desired floor will lookin
the environment of your choice, for example your office, store
or home. Mix and match different floor colors in different
interiors to get an idea of how your floor will look like in place.
