“PVC is the normal abuse of science that we have seen with tobacco, asbestos, and pesticides. I don’t know one innovative company that is not eliminating PVC.
Not one.”

PVC is the most damaging of all plastics

Embodied Carbon

PVC is an oil-based plastic with one of the highest carbon footprints of all construction materials.

Risks to Health

Greenpeace has dubbed PVC "the poison plastic" and has waged a 30-year campaign to phase out its use.

Environmental Damage

The production and disposal of PVC, a single-use plastic, inflicts permanent and irrevocable damage to the planet.

PLASTIC DEPENDENCY

Around 40% of UK commercial flooring is PVC-based. This includes safety floors, sheet vinyl and luxury vinyl tiles. Sustainable alternatives with a much lighter environmental impact exist for all PVC flooring types.

Sustainable Alternatives to PVC

There is a new generation of sustainable flooring materials that deliver non-PVC, low-carbon solutions for the busiest of commercial spaces without any compromise in design or performance.
