Tessera Evolve+ series
Low embodied carbon carpet tiles, without offsetting
Low embodied carbon carpet tiles, without offsetting
Standard Tessera carpet tiles already contain a minimum of 60% recycled content and are produced using 100% renewable energy, resulting in lower embodied carbon levels.
By evolving this standard carpet tile construction, Forbo Flooring Systems has further improved the sustainability of selected carpet tile ranges, increasing the recycled content and substantially lowering the embodied carbon (A1-A3). All without offsetting and third-party verified through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
