At the end of 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the formal review of five chemicals for further assessment under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), including vinyl chloride (PVC) – the primary ingredient in vinyl flooring.
What does this assessment mean for the flooring industry? We spoke with Windmoeller Vice President Todd Jones and Tim Cole, director of sustainability and technical services, to gain their perspective on what it could potentially mean for manufacturing, sales and specifications of resilient flooring. Windmoeller has been providing bio-based polyurethane flooring installations in the United States for 10 years.
