Sustainable vinyl flooring – Beauflor’s doubling down

We want to set an example in our industry by going for zero. And by setting that target, we are being bold, but also transparent and vulnerable. We know that our goal requires solutions that don’t yet exist. We can’t do it all alone. But that doesn’t frighten us. Instead, we know being bold will encourage us to push the limits of what’s achievable. Part of our confidence is the way we stand united behind our sustainability strategy Route 2030.

Route 2030 comprises five distinct routes, each focusing on a key aspect of sustainability:

1. We take responsibility for the environmental impact of our operations.
2. We value our employees and the people around us.
3. We work towards a circular economy with the whole supply chain in mind.
4. We take responsibility for our climate impact.
5. We act with integrity and value open communication.

Why we prioritize sustainability

Simply put: because we’re in a position to make a big difference

Uncountable square metres of flooring pass under our feet on a weekly basis. Strolling around the house, navigating the office, shopping in town ... we encounter floors everywhere. And Beauflor has a big piece of the pie, designing, producing and distributing large volumes of vinyl flooring to all corners of the world every year.

Well aware of our enormous social and environmental responsibility, we’ve integrated a sustainable approach into all aspects of our business – from deeply caring for our employees to offering a growing number of eco-friendly flooring solutions.

How we impact the whole lifecycle

1. Conscious raw material selection

Our eco-friendly approach begins at the very source. We prioritize renewable and recycled materials, ensuring minimal environmental impact. With a goal to maximize the use of such materials by 2030, we're constantly innovating our product compositions and are already adding recycled content into some of our collections.

 

2. Eco-friendly production

Our production processes are a testament to our commitment to the planet. We're working towards using 100% renewable energy by 2030, already employing solar energy and innovative heat recovery technologies. Our plants are designed to reduce waste and energy consumption, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative for a greener future.

 

3. Design for circularity

Designing for a sustainable future means thinking about tomorrow. Our vinyl floors are created with circularity in mind – aiming for 100% recyclability. We focus on using renewable and recycled content, ensuring that our floors contribute positively to a circular economy.

 

4. Enhancing usage experience

Our sustainable vinyl flooring is not just environmentally friendly; it's also designed for your comfort and well-being. With features like superior sound absorption, easy maintenance, and lasting durability, our floors provide an unmatched user experience.
