Webinar SELECTING SUSTAINABLE FLOORING
Webinar How to select truly sustainable flooring
The sustainability profile of a flooring product is becoming an increasingly decisive factor for building owners and architects when choosing a floor covering. A product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a proven way of determining the environmental performance of products, aimed at the impacts of the complete life cycle of a product on many criteria; from the raw material extraction to the end of its useful life.
Join us in our newest webinar on the 21st of June, in which Amanda Fisher, Business Development Manager at UL and Edo Rem, Director of Global Marketing at Forbo Flooring Systems, will explain what is important and what to look for when selecting a truly ‘green’ floor. They will discuss how UL certifies that all information in LCAs and the finished EPD is true and accurate and why Forbo Flooring has taken this up a notch by adding health declarations to each EPD.
