Lifecycle assessment scores show exceptional performance for Furniture Linoleum and Bulletin Board and it is nature that provides a great start by providing harvestable, renewable raw materials.
These raw materials are harvested or extracted with relatively little energy consumption, the main energy resource for the process is the sun, while another factor contributing to low energy consumption is the long lifespan of Bulletin Board and Furniture Linoleum.
 During use the ecological characteristics of the finished products contribute to the lowest environmental impact. The ETC finish that optimizes the maintenance properties is water-based, while bacteriostatic properties derived from the natural raw materials means significant quantities of disinfectants or chemicals are not required. Dry maintenance methods also mean very little waste water is generated.
There are no heavy metals involved in the product's creation which means recycling can take place during production and after a long life, Bulletin Board and Furniture Linoleum can be safely returned to nature via landfill refuse sites where they decompose completely and will not release harmful substances or gases in the process.
Alternatively, the energy obtained from the incineration of these responsible flooring products is equivalent to or more than that which is used in production. A closed circle!
