Metroflor announced that it has secured carbon credits to offset the total amount of embodied carbon generated by the manufacture and sale of Déjà New commercial glue-down LVT. Déjà New is Metroflor's first carbon-neutral commercially rated glue-down LVT.
Based on the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) calculations and sales history, Metroflor purchased the required amount of Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) to fully offset its embodied carbon footprint. While Metroflor’s long-term strategy is to make floors that contain no embodied carbon, this carbon offsetting initiative meets Metroflor’s short-term goal of making an immediate impact in the global effort to stave off global warming.
