Our designer floors are resource efficient and all collections use recycled material. Raw materials are sourced from only the greenest polymer factories
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY
For several decades, Bolon has taken a proactive approach to sustainability. From combining development and manufacturing in Ulricehamn, which gives control and the opportunity to optimise resources to benefit the environment, to focusing on sustainability throughout the chain; including sourcing raw materials, installation and the transition of our products after-use to a circular economy.
It’s a journey of innovation that starts long before flooring is produced and long after it has fulfilled its intended purpose.

STEP BY STEP TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE DESIGNER FLOOR
