Tarkett, being one of the biggest flooring producers in the world, takes its responsibility seriously for the environmental impact we make. We believe that a sustainable circular transition is needed to cope with...

Closing the loop Recycling is a cornerstone of circular transition, as it is an efficient way to save resources, reduce waste and avoid greenhouse gas emissions. Indeed, it is less energy intensive to transform existing materials rather than to produce them from scratch using virgin raw materials. As an example, 2 kg of CO2 is saved for every kg vinyl floor that is recycled*. TARKETTʼS RESTART® PROGRAM Through Tarkett’s ReStart® take-back and recycling program we operate systems all over Europe where offcuts from installation of vinyl floors are collected and sent to our recycling centres. Furthermore,...
