Tarkett launches non-PVC modular resilient flooring

Sustainability Wed, Dec 12, 2018 3:29 PM

Tarkett has unveiled iD Revolution, a new innovative modular resilient flooring that offers customers undoubtable design capability, with total sustainable integrity.

In alignment with its strong sustainability commitment, iD Revolution is regenerative by design as it is comprised of 83% recycled, mineral and bio-based materials and is 100% recyclable.

The result: a Cradle to Cradle gold certified modular resilient flooring which has been designed for the longevity of life, while also combining performance and design.

Valérie Lebon, EMEA Marketing Vice-President for Tarkett, said: “iD Revolution was developed to meet the needs of our customers looking for alternatives to PVC in the modular resilient flooring category.

"We challenged ourselves, pushing the boundaries within the market to create the first non-PVC modular resilient flooring with Cradle to Cradle gold certification. This reflects our commitment to providing our customers with products that create friendly spaces and respect the planet’s natural capital.

"Through this regenerative product, we are taking one step further towards closing the loop, together with our clients.”

To create this innovative new flooring, Tarkett sources recycled PVB, a non-PVC and phthalate-free resin used to help prevent windscreens from shattering. It is recovered from end-of-life vehicles or safety glass from buildings, before being integrated into the product.

The formula includes 24% recycled PVB, 11% bioplastic and 49% chalk, a mineral found in abundance in nature. Not only is iD Revolution’s composition sustainable but the manufacturing process also respects the earth’s natural capital: 99% of the water used during the production is recycled, and 50% of the electricity needed comes from renewable sources, while the remaining 50% are offset, via carbon credits through a project supporting biodiversity in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest.

iD Revolution is free from phthalate and solvents, and has been designed with an ultra-low level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), thus contributing to optimal indoor air quality and healthy spaces.

As a 100% recyclable flooring. iD Revolution can be re-used at the end-of-life stage. Through ReStart, Tarkett’s take-back programme, iD Revolution’s tiles and planks will be eligible to be collected and sent back to the manufacturing site to be re-engineered as a new product.

Through ReStart, Tarkett helps its customers manage their flooring waste. Companies participating in ReStart contribute to safeguarding the world’s natural resources, protecting the environment and shifting towards a circular economy model.
