Environmental Efforts

Great design isn't just beautiful, it's a beautiful solution.

Our commitment to beautiful design includes a commitment to be environmentally responsible: to make truly great design is to make sustainable living solutions that are also beautiful for the Earth. FLOR's dedication to caring for the planet carries over into everything we do from the design and manufacturing of FLOR to reclaiming and recycling old product into new. Here are some of the ways we try to practice what we preach.






Return & Recycle Program

FLOR has always been an innovator and a pioneer. We care about our planet and its future and seriously consider our eco-footprint in everything we do. That includes what happens when FLOR has lived its useful life. FLOR has developed what is revolutionary in the residential carpet industry - a Return & Recycle Program.


We are committed to making sure that no FLOR ends up in a landfill. Through FLOR's Return & Recycle program we take your old FLOR carpet squares and turn them into new product. So, when you need to replace or make room for some new FLOR, don't toss your old tiles into the garbage. Instead, call our Customer Care department at 1.866.281.3567 to learn how you can participate and make a difference. The planet thanks you!


Environmental Efforts

Renewable & Recycled Content

FLOR carpet squares are designed with the end in mind. Our ultimate goal is to exclusively use renewable and recycled raw materials in creating FLOR. We're not completely there yet but have made great progress. FLOR products have varying degrees of recycled content and are recyclable. For specifications on a particular FLOR style, visit the specific style pages on FLOR.com or call Customer Care at 1.866.281.3567.


Low VOCs

Most FLOR styles meet or exceed the Carpet and Rug Institute's Green Label Plus standards for low VOCs. Low VOCs are important because of their harmful impact on indoor air quality.




FLOR Catalog

The consideration we use in designing FLOR carpet squares is applied to the way we market our products as well. We're proud to be one of only a handful of companies in the US to print our FLOR catalog on the highest percentage of recycled content available.
