Linoleum and the environment

Composed of 98% natural, bio-sourced or mineral materials, linoleum is our most ecological flooring! Also incorporating materials that are recycled and/or 100% recyclable, it falls squarely within a circular economy approach.

Where's the proof? It has received the highly sophisticated Cradle to Cradle Silver certification.

Cradle to Cradle certified floor covering

Designed adhering to a circular economy, DLW linoleum integrates environmental issues throughout all stages of its life cycle to achieve carbon neutrality. Thanks to this commitment, it has received Cradle to Cradle certification (link). This highly ambitious certification rewards our sustainable development efforts by measuring 5 criteria:

re-use of materials
health impact of materials
water management
renewable energy
social equity

You can find out about the carbon impact of all our products by consulting the Environmental Declaration of Performance (EDP) sheets, certified by the third-party organization EVEA.
